Another new member here.. Got a question about My Tracks app..

My Tracks is one of the best apps I've ever come through.. I record
most of my trips to almost anywhere ! Recently, I've been on a 680-
mile trip from Rapid City, SD to Omaha NE. The app recorded the track
just fine, but when I got back I tried to write the track to the SD
card. That took forever. However, I did save the track to the phone.
Now, when I try to load the map, or save the map as a gpx file, it
takes forever. I just let it load the map for a full day, and it
loaded just half of it. But it sure is making progress very slow. I
was wondering if there was an upper limit to how long we could record
our trips.. Or, is there an easier way to save the maps rather than
ask the app to write all the data to a file ? I cannot send the file
to Google maps either.

From what I found, a 15-mile trip took about 0.2MB of space for a gpx
file. That would mean a 700-mile trip would take about 10 MB of GPX
data. Anyone know how the app works when dealing with such huge
amounts of data ? I forgot to mention that the phone keeps telling me
that the app is not responding. After asking to wait every time it
asks me, I got it to load half the track on the map. Is there a
location on the phone that the app uses to save the dumps, and load it
from there when we ask it to load ? Can we go to that location, and
get that data and save it ourselves ?


Not that this data is very important, but I'd really like to know the
limits so I'll breakdown my route into parts next time..
