Lists in ExpertGPS

The List Views in ExpertGPS present columns of information for each type of data in your file.

Showing a List

Commands to show a list are on the List menu. You can also switch to a different list using the List selection box at the top of the list.

Selecting Items in the List

Click on an item in the list to select it. To select a range of items, click on the starting item, hold down the Shift key, and click on the ending item. Hold down the Ctrl key to add additional item to the selection.

Sorting

To sort the list, click on a column header above the list. To reverse the sort order, click the same column header a second time. The sort column has a light grey background.

Editing with F2

Searching and Finding in the List

To quickly find an item in the list, begin typing into the Find box at the top of the list. As you type, the list will be narrowed down to only show items that contain your search word.
