Editing positions on the map

The map understands a few mouse gestures directly, without opening a menu.

Selecting positions

A left click selects the closest position within about 15 pixels, replacing whatever was selected before. Shift+click extends the current selection instead of replacing it, so you can pick several positions one after another.

Inserting and removing positions

Ctrl+click inserts a brand-new position at that point on the map. Ctrl+Alt+click deletes the closest existing position — there's no confirmation dialog, so undo (Edit → Undo) is the way back if you click the wrong point.

Moving a position

Drag its marker to a new spot. The position list and any elevation or distance figures update as you drop it.

Zooming

Zoom in and out with the mouse wheel, or the + and − keys, centered on the mouse pointer or the current selection.

Layout and printing

View → Show Map and Position List restores the split view; View → Maximize Map collapses the rest so the map fills the window.

View → Show All Positions on Map zooms out until every position of the list is visible.

Display on the Maps dialog switches which map is drawn — see The Maps dialog.

File → Print → Map… prints the current map view.
