Abstract
This chapter provides practical solutions and ‘hacks’ that enable the user to perform a range of useful functions when dealing with tracks whether 2D or 3D. There are tips on using specific pieces of software and original computer code to help with specific tasks. It is not a definitive list but we aim to produce a body of information that the user may find of practical use.
