Creating and editing

To create new data, an own menu has been created. You can access this menu by selecting New in the  QV main menu bar.

The following options refer to the manual generation of new geodata:

Command	Hotkey	Icon	Description
New waypoint…			Will open an assitant for creating new waypoints.
Save map cursor as waypoint			Will save the actual map cursor position as waypoint.
New route…			Will open an assitant for creating a new route.
New track…			Will open an assitant for creating a new track.
New drawing…			Will open an assitant for creating a new training.
Edit marks ON/OFF	Ctrl + E		Opens the editor for markings. Using this editor you can edit very comfortably all kinds of geodata like waypoints, routes, tracks, drawings or geocaches. This icon has a switch function. For disabling the editor just click the icon once again.
Receive from GPS…			Starts the GPS data download assistant. See chapter Download of geodata from your GPS.
Import…			Starts the data import assistant. See chapter Import of data.

QV will automatically switch to the Editi Mode when creating geodata. This is indicated by the Edit-Toolbox which will be docked to the top of the map status fiield. You can also open this toolbox by clicking the Edit icon in the Sandard toolbox:

This toolbox provides several functions for editimg geodata:

Icon	Hotkey	Description
	ESC	Normal cursor mode
	A	Add new point
	W	New drawing-object, see also Drawings
	M	Move point, hold Shift to move the whole object
	I	Insert a new point between existing points
	D	Delete a point
	T	Cut into pieces
	J	Join two parts
	<	Enter new point numerically, e.g. distance and course
	S	Magnet, Snap existing points
	Ctrl-Z	Undo last action
	F2	Rename
	O	Select points with a rectancle or a lasso
	Ctrl-C	Copy selection to X-Plorer
	Ctrl-X	Move selection to X-Plorer

Following, the process is described for the creation of a waypoint and a route. However, the process is the same for other types of geodata.

The easisest option is to save the actual cursor position as waypoint. This function is directly available in the Drop-down list of the New menu. You will also find the New waypont option in this menu.

An assistent will open to guide you through the steps of this function:

So this is how you proceed:

1. Open a map of your choice which ist best suited for creating the waypoint.
2. Choose New > New waypoint; the New waypoint assistant will open (see fig. above left). In this window you can define a name for the waypoint (“new waypoint” is the defailt). You can also change the waypoint symbol by clicking the Change button in the lower part of the window. Then continue with Next.
3. The second window of the assistant will open (see fig. above right). As default “Save in QV-Data\My Data\My Waypoints” is activated. Use this option in case you aggree with the destination where QV will create the waypoint. If you want to choose another destination click “Select table from list” and specify in which database and waypoint table you want the waypoint to be created. Confirm your setting with Finish. Finally switch to the map window and create the new waypoint by a simple left click with your mouse at the position where the waypoint should be created. The coordinates will automatically be defined through the calibrated map. In case you have not had a map opened before, QV will ask you to open a map from a suggested list. The maps which are listed are defined by your Automap settings. For further details see AutoMAP.

The creation of a route is done in a very similar way: Please proceed as follows:

1. Open a map of your choice which ist best suited for planing your tour.
2. Choose New > New route; the New route assistant will open (see fig. below left). In this window you can define a name for the route (“new route” is the defailt). You can also change the route style by clicking the Change button in the lower part of the window. Then continue with Next.
3. The second window of the assistant will open (see fig. below right). As default “Save in QV-Data\My Data\My Routes” is activated. Use this option in case you aggree with the destination where QV will create the route. If you want to choose another destination click “Select table from list” and specify in which database and route table you want the route to be created. Confirm your setting with Finish. Finally switch to the map window and create the new route point by point by simple left clicks with your mouse at the positions where the route waypoint (“stop-over points”) should be created. The route waypoints will be numbered from RWP1 to RWPn. The coordinates will automatically be defined through the calibrated map. In case you have not had a map opened before, QV will ask you to open a map from a suggested list. The maps which are listed are defined by your Automap settings.

When your new route is finished your, the map window will look similar to this:

Sie können jede Route, Track und jeden Wegpunkt jederzeit in der Karte ändern, indem Sie einfach den Werkzeugkasten Edit öffnen und die gewünschte Funktion auf die zu ändernden Markierungen in der Karte anwenden.
