The Newtracs platform analyses your synced trip logs to anonymously update 4wd trail statistics and difficulty ratings on the public map.
To achieve this, the platform takes into consideration your vehicle profile, which can be added in the Vehicle Profile section of the Newtracs app (Account > Vehicle Profile).
It takes around 24-48 hours for trips to be uploaded, analysed and added to the public map.
If the public map has not updated after this time, please check:
If a road is missing from the Newtracs map (i.e. there is no line denoting a road at all), the road does not exist in our base map provider’s database, OpenStreetMap.
To add missing roads to the Newtracs map, you must first add it to OpenStreetMap. Please refer to the OpenStreetMap editing guide here.
After updating OpenStreetMap, your changes will automatically flow through to the Newtracs map during the next update cycle (currently every 3 months).
You can log trips and record locations to revisit your journey at a later date.
Simply complete your vehicle profile in the Newtracs iOS or Android app (Account > Vehicle Profile) and tap ‘Log Trip’ in the default map view.
Note: you will be shown a prompt to ‘Always’ grant location permissions the first time you log a trip.
To add a grade to a trail, simply log your trip whilst driving. Once your trip has synced, it will be analysed and a new track rating will be automatically added to the Newtracs map. This process can take up to 48 hours.
You can delete a previously recorded trip log in Newtracs by navigating to your saved trips (tap the star in the default map view > Trips), scroll to the trip you would like to delete, swipe left on the trip > tap ‘Delete’.
To delete a previously dropped pin in Newtracs navigate to your saved pins (tap the star icon in the default map view > Pins), scroll to the pin you would like to delete, swipe left on the pin > tap ‘Delete’.
Alternatively, you can tap the pin in the default map view > tap ‘Edit’ > tap ‘Delete’.
To save a 4wd trail to your favourites, tap the trail in the default map view to invoke the trail stats and tap the star icon in the top left.
To remove a 4wd trail from your favourites, tap the star icon in the trail stats view again.
Alternatively, navigate to your Saved Items (tap the star icon in the default map view), scroll to the trail, swipe left on the trail and tap ‘Delete’.
The Newtracs platform automatically assigns and updates 4wd trail difficulty grades by analysing your recorded trip logs.
If you think a trail difficulty grade is incorrect you can submit a grade correction by emailing support@newtracs.com.au. Track grade corrections will be processed and made available on the public Newtracs map within 24 hours.
You can download offline maps to use the Newtracs app without an active internet connection.
Navigate to ‘Offline Maps’ (Account > Offline Maps), tap ‘Download’ for the relevant map and wait for the download to complete and install. Do not close Newtracs during this process.
Always remember to download offline maps in advance using a stable internet connection.
To delete offline maps, navigate to ‘Offline Maps’ and tap ‘Delete’ next to the map you wish to remove.
