For some reason I'm not getting any tracks coming up in the box on the top RHS where I use to.
I've played with the drop down menus but can't find anything.
Any tips help appreciated.

Are you seeing 3 screens? If not open the top screen by placing the cursor on the top bar and dragging it down.

I've selected the show tracks box. 2 boxes on the LHS . The bottom one showing the results. The top numbers coming up in red and orange. And 2 data points graphs along the bottom.The tracks screen top RHS has 1 vertical line and 1 horizontal line going thru the centre but nothing else.
Even when I pick an older file same thing. Seems to have gone after I started using a Gw-60.

It could be off screen, try zooming out. Then you may find a spot to zoom in on.

That means that your track starts with one or more points that are completely wrong. That happens when GPS units start to log before they really know where they are. Your track is (probably) showing, but since the first point(s) can be anywhere in the world, it is zoomed so far out that it's all in one pixel or a few.

To fix this, select the first few points in the trackpoints table on the left, go to the "Tracks" menu, and choose "Delete selection". If you don't the the tracks right away after that, select the "1 hour" top speed in the results table (below the tracks on the right), and zoom in. On most computers, you can use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom.

Thanks guys for the input and sorry for the slow reply. Yes I had to select different track points and then use the thumb wheel to scroll in. Still using a gt31 and gw-60 as backup. The tracks came up correct in the middle when I downloaded the Gw60 file.
