The position list

One row per position in the selected position list, and the place where most editing happens.

What the list shows

Each row is one position of the selected position list. The row order is the order the positions are connected in.

Choose the columns

Right-click the header row, or use View → Show Column, to switch columns such as elevation, speed and time on or off.

Edit a cell

Double-click a cell to edit it in place. The change applies when the cell loses focus.

Select and reorder

Edit → Select All selects every position; Edit → Clear Selection clears the selection. Move the selection with Position → Top, Position → Up, Position → Down or Position → Bottom.

Position → Reverse reverses the order of the selected positions; Position → Reverse completely reverses the order of the whole list. To start a route from a different position, select the positions before it and press Position → Bottom — they move to the end.

Add and remove positions

Add a position with Position → New, or remove one with Position → Delete. The clipboard actions Edit → Cut, Edit → Copy and Edit → Paste work on the selection too.

Fill in missing data

The Position → Complete… submenu asks an online or offline service for the missing values and writes the answers into the selected rows:

• Coordinates
• Elevation
• Postal Address
• Speed
• Time
• Number
• Times from Departure…

Thin out a list

Position → Delete Duplicate Positions… offers three strategies for thinning a list: by distance, by order, or by significance (Douglas-Peucker). Getting started covers these strategies in more depth.

Split, merge, import, export

Cut the list at the selected position with Positionlist → Split. Create an empty list with Positionlist → New, or rename the current one with Positionlist → Rename…. Bring positions in from another file with Positionlist → Import from a File…, or pull position lists in from other files into the current list with Positionlist → Merge…. Write the list out with Positionlist → Export to a File….

Snap to a road, or change list type

Position → Snap to Road moves the selected positions onto the nearest road, using the configured routing service.

Positionlist → Convert Route to Track and Positionlist → Convert Track to Route change how the list is interpreted and drawn.

More room

View → Maximize Position List collapses the map and the profile so the list fills the window.
