Recommended prerequisite

To better understand this tutorial, we recommend watching this first:

Procedure:

  • Load a project
  • Open the File Manager
  • Expand the tree nodes
  • View project information
  • View map information
  • Explore waypoints, tracks and routes
  • View the tracks contained in GPX files
  • Select different GPX files and view their tracks

Tips:

  • Use the File Manager to get an organized overview of projects and their associated data
  • Expand the tree nodes to quickly locate maps, waypoints, tracks, routes and GPX files
  • Use the context menus to quickly access the available functions and information
  • Select a GPX file to use the corresponding functions in the ribbon toolbar

Notes:

  • The File Manager allows you to organize and browse maps, waypoints, tracks, routes and associated data
  • The available context menus depend on the type of selected item
  • The ribbon toolbar functions operate on the selected map and GPX file
  • You can change the selected files using the context menus in the File Manager window

Common mistakes:

  • Confusing the project with the individual files and data contained in the project
  • Not expanding the tree nodes and therefore not displaying all available elements
  • Forgetting to select the GPX file before using the corresponding functions in the ribbon toolbar
