Route & Mark Manager

Through the Route Manager OpenCPN can save and load waypoints, routes, tracks and layers using the GPX transfer format. This lets you save your routes and marks so you can have more than the active ones - for example to do route planning, or archive existing data.

All Navigation Objects on this page, except for “Temporary Layers”, are persistent between sessions. More here: Navigation Data Backup All objects visibility is toggled by clicking the “eye” , or other icon, to the left of the route-track-waypoint-layers name, on each line. A red X across the “eye” or icon (for marks) means that the object is invisible. All objects can be sorted by the header in the columns in the Manager. By clicking “Route Name below, the routes will be sorted alphabetically, pressing once again reverses the order. Similar for the column “To”, the destination. Select multiple objects in the Routes, Tracks, or Waypoints tabs,individually by CTRL + leftclick, or in group by SHIFT + leftclick, for export or deletion. Double-clicking on a Waypoint, Route or Track brings up the respective Properties dialog.

The lower part of the Route properties dialog now has a Print Route button. It is possible to first select what features to print before being sent to the normal print routine.

Track Properties

The track properties dialog is similar to the route properties dialog above. There are some obvious differences as a track describes something that took place in the past and a route is planning for the future. Track properties also has an Advanced tab that works similar to the Extended Marks dialog.
