The data tree is a fast tool that allows you to control all Land files: you can quickly see those that are open at that moment and manage those stored on the computer. 

The data tree provides quick access to the most important operations that will be carried out on maps, tracks, waypoints…

Structure

Branches

The data tree is organized into branches according to file type:

• Maps
• My Activities
• Routes
• Waypoints
• Sets
• Photos
• Devices
• Online Files

Sub-branches

Each branch is organized into sub-branches to make access to different types of files easier:

• Maps:
  
  • Stored Maps: Maps available in Land’s map folder
  • Install Purchased Maps: You can quickly install your purchased maps:
    
  • Online Maps: Access to online maps classified by countries:
    • By double-clicking on a map, a reference file (*.cwms, *cosm...) is downloaded, which will query the online server. This reference file remains saved on the computer, so next time it can be opened from 'Stored Maps', without needing to go back to 'Online Maps'.
    • World includes worldwide coverage maps (OSM, aerial imagery...):
      
    • MapsPlus includes access to maps plus:
      
• Routes:
  
  • Stored Routes: Tracks available in Land’s track folder
  • My Online Routes: Access to services where my personal files (routes, activities) are stored. Requires connection with a personal account:
    
  • Discover Online Routes: Access to public route services, without requiring a personal account connection:
    

Special branches

• Sets (File in gpx or kml/kmz format containing several elements):
  
  • The set will appear in the Sets branch, but each sub-element will also appear in the branch corresponding to its type (e.g. if a set has 2 tracks and 1 waypoint file, they will appear as 2 tracks under Routes, the waypoint file under Waypoints, and the full set under Sets).
  • Individual elements cannot be closed; the whole set must be closed. For example, you cannot close track1 only — you must go to the Sets branch and close it all.
• Photos (open photo folder to georeference them in a track):
  
• Devices (Shows the content of the GPS device connected by USB to the computer):
  

Actions

Open/Close the data tree

You can open/close the data tree using the Show Data Tree function from the toolbar:

You can also close it by clicking the 'cross' button in the top right corner of the data tree:

Open/Close a branch

You can open/close branches using the 'chevron' button or by double-clicking the branch name:

Open a tree item

There are several ways to open an item from the data tree:

• From the Menu File > Open File...:
  
• From the Menu File > Open element:
  
• Using the Open track and Open map functions from the toolbar:
   
• Right-clicking on a branch and selecting Open map, Open track, Open waypoints file:
  
  
  
  
  

Opened files are placed directly under their branch:

Close a tree item

There are several ways to close an open data tree item:

• Click the 'cross' button on the right side of the open item:
  
• Right-click the item and select Close:
  

Show/Hide map item (eye)

Note: Do not confuse Show/Hide with Open/Close. 'Hide' keeps the file open. For example, a hidden relief map will still show altitudes, and a hidden routable map will still allow automatic route calculations.

To show/hide an open item on the map, click the "eye" icon on the left side of the open item:

• Individual files:
  When they have the "open eye'" icon, they are displayed on the map:
   
  
  When they have the "crossed-out eye" icon, they are not displayed on the map, but they are still open: 
   
  
   
• Stored routes/activities:
  When they have the "open eye" icon, the icons are displayed on the map:
   
  
  When they have the "crossed-out eye" icon, the icons are not displayed on the map:
  
  
   
• Stored maps:
  When they have the "open eye" icon, the map borders are displayed:
  
  
  You can open them by double-clicking the border:
  
  Or right-click the border and select Open this map: "xxx":
  
  When they have the "crossed-out eye" icon, the map borders are not displayed:
  
   
• Online routes:
  When the "open eye" icon is displayed, the icons are shown on the map:
  
  
  When the "crossed-out eye" icon is displayed, the icons are not shown on the map:
  
  

Center an open item on the map

To center an open item (map, track, waypoint...) on the map, double-click the item or right-click and select Zoom to it:

The item will be centered in the map window:

Map/tree interaction

Clicking an item on the map will highlight it in the tree, and vice versa:

Search by name

At the top of the data tree, there is a file search by name:

• Type the file name in the box, and Land will search all open or closed files (online files not included) and display them in the tree:
  
• Click the 'X' button to clear the filter:
  

Right-click

Right-clicking tree items allows you to perform many actions detailed in other articles. The most important:

• Zoom to it:
  
• Properties:
  
• Submenu File (Save, Delete, Rename...):
  

Drag and drop

You can drag and drop tree items to perform different functions:

• Drag a waypoint from one waypoint file to another:
  
  The waypoint moves to the other waypoint file:
  
• Drag a waypoint to a track:
  
  The waypoint is added as a roadbook point of the track (if the track is nearby):
  
  
• Move a waypoint’s position:
  Drag the waypoint from the tree to a new point on the map:
  
  The waypoint is placed at the new map position:
  

Multi-selection

You can select multiple items (tracks, waypoints...) to perform simultaneous actions (Save, close, delete...).

• First, click the first item to select it:
  
• Then hold Control + Shift (Windows) or Command + Shift (Mac) and click the last item:
  
• Right-click to open the context menu and perform an action on all selected items:
  
• This function is useful, for example, to move multiple waypoints from one waypoint file to another:
