Selecting Data - GPS TrackMaker Reference Manual

8.6 Selecting Data

Item selection in GPS TrackMaker® allows to delete data from memory as well as calculate area and distance,
drag Tracklogs, Routes and Waypoints in the screen, modify data, etc. Many other functions use selected data.
When a Waypoint is selected a small red/gray square will appear over the icon.
For Tracklogs and Routes, a small red circle in the center of each segment represents selection.
Selection of All Data in Memory
To select all data, press <CTRL A> or choose the Select All option in the Tools menu.
Item Selection
There are six different types of item selection:
Direct Selection
For this type of selection, the Detect Elements button
in the Drawing Toolbar must be pressed.
Press and click with the left mouse button over a Waypoint icon, or a Tracklog or Route segment. For
Waypoints, you must wait until a small circle appears over the icon and then click. For Tracklogs and Routes, you
must wait until the segment changes its color.
To select all segments of a Tracklog or Route, just double-click in one of the segments. This procedure is useful
when calculating Tracklog or Route areas or lengths.
Selection by Description
Using the list boxes in the second tool bar, it is possible to select items by selecting the Waypoint name or
comment, Tracklog number or Route name. Just locate the description in one of the two list boxes and then click
on it. The program will redraw the screen to show the Waypoint, Tracklog or Route chosen.
This procedure is useful to locate specific Waypoints, Tracklogs or Routes when there is a lot of data on screen.
