Default track and bookmark name patterns
Cartograph Maps 3.6.5 and newer supports custom default name patterns for newly created tracks, waypoints, and bookmarks. The default patterns can be changed in the track manager settings and overlay manager settings.
A pattern can contain placeholders which are automatically replaced:
Date and time placeholders
Date and time patterns are enclosed by “%%” and follow common rules (details about all date/time patterns can be found here and here). Here are some examples:
| Pattern | Output |
| %%dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm%% | 21-12-2024 15:38 |
| %%dd-MM-yyyy h:m%% | 21-12-2024 3:38 pm |
| %%dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm%%, some text | 21-12-2024 15:38, some text |
Other placeholders
| Pattern | Description |
| %%lat%% | The waypoint’s latitude. |
| %%lon%% | The waypoint’s longitude. |
| %%alt%% | The waypoint’s altitude. |
| %%zoom%% | The current map’s zoom level. |
