You can now set your own colour preferences for track segment highlights on overlays in ka72.com (just in case you are bored with the colour scheme that we've had the last 15+ years, or have vision issues that mean it is hard to pick out the default colours.)

The full picker appears in your Profile screen (you may need to hit F5 to refresh your browser if it doesn't appear.)

The colour change will affect every future track you upload. (Though you can update past ones too. See below.)

You can also access this setting from the new shortcut button just under the track overlay, where there is also a button to regenerate the kml overlay after you've changed your colour settings.


Thanks to Sue Linton for prompting me to do this. It's something I've been planning to do for about ten years but never got around to.

Nice feature for the user to be able to change colour, but I do like looking at other peoples tracks with default colours as I know straight away what I'm looking at when I see red (speed) blue (nauti) and so on.

I mainly wanted the 5 x 10s yellow so you could see them.🙂

Dylan, I really appreciate your time and effort in upgrading KA72. With all your tweaking that you are currently doing on it as well.

I would suggest change to "Compact View" mode and take a screenshot (prtscrn button on a windows PC) then just paste it into the post.


Compact View is a layout that was specifically designed to be nice to screenshot.

OK. Thanks. I'll try that next time we get wind.
