These options alter the data of trackpoints of a track but not add or remove trackpoints.
And don't seem to fit any other category :)

If this is Track then convert it to a Route.

Converting from a Track to a Route may involve a loss of information, in particular timestamp values (hence you are required to confirm this operation before it happens).

<title>Anonymize Times</title>
Thus the timestamps themselves will no longer reveal exactly when a track was taken.
However the relative difference between the timestamps is kept thus one is still able to calculate some properties such as speeds along the track.

</para>
<para>
-Images need to have an EXIF DATE_TIME_ORIGINAL (nearly always set by a camera). This timestamp is then used to find the location when the image(s) was taken by searching through the track(s) to find the nearest time - interpolating between points if necessary to set the location.
