Right clicking on selected files (in the left panel) will open a context menu containing a subset of the available commands:
To be noted that the first command of this menu ("Edit as new itinerary") will permit to start a new itinerary copying all the objects from the selected file. This is the way to modify an existing itinerary file.

From the Map (right side panel) you can:

Zoom and pan the worldwide map.
Search a location worldwide.
Change map settings.

Public Folder

In your GEC Account root directory (left column) you will find a special folder named "public". This folder has been created by the system and cannot be deleted or renamed. This is where you will upload all the files you wish to share with the Terra Map community. All the files in your GEC Account are private, and no one can access them. However, the files in your "public" folder will be freely available to everyone in the Terra Map community. See the dedicated Public Folder page for more details.

Recall your experience

Selecting one of your archived files the system will overlay it on the map.
Here you can access all the information present in the file including track statistics, markers, photos and tours, if available.

You will also have the opportunity to view the altitude and speed graphs and relive the entire experience recalling all the pictures and their location.

Press these icons to share this file on the major social networks.

Create a new Itinerary or edit an existing one

Here below we will try to describe the available tools for the scope.
A new Itinerary means a collection of Tracks, Markers, Tours and Photos to be stored into a single file (GPX, KML or KMZ) that can be transferred to another app or just saved in your PC.

This file will be generated by the system and archived in your User Area with the name you defined (automatic numbering will be applied in case of duplication).
Once the file is saved you will be able to download it, share on the major social networks or load into your Terra Map (see above "Import data from" paragraph).

From this view you can perform the below activities (once a button is pressed it will turn to "orange" and the function will be active until you press it again or press another button):

First of all, if you want to edit the geometry of your object, just click on it and you will be able to drag, remove and add new points to your track/route.
Add a new marker on the screen. Once you added a new Marker you will be able to assign a name,a description, change the icon and add a photo. You can change them anytime until you will save the new Itinerary.
Digitize a new tour on the screen. Click on the map to place the next Tour's waypoint (this will be represented by an icon showing a progressive numbering, the distance from the previous waypoint, the total distance and the kompass angle from the previous waypoint). A popup dialog will be open to help you while digitizing the tour.

This dialog will help you Undo the last point, Redo the last undo, Save or Cancel the digitalization. Once you added the new Tour you will be able to assign a name, a description and a color. You can change them anytime until you will save the current new Itinerary.
Pressing this icon you will enter the "split" functionality. This can be used to split a linear feature (Track or Tour) into two separate objects. First select the feature you would split, then click on the position you want the splitting.
Pressing this icon you will be able to join two or more line objects together (they must belong to the same type: tour or track).
Reverse lines. Once this tool is active, select any line to reverse its points order.
Using this button you can copy objects (markers, photos, tracks or tours) from another file in your GEC Archive. When you select it, the map will be divided in 2 parts, on the above one you have a new File Manager window where you will be able to hide/show the files and the below one you have you new itinerary. Now if you select an object from the above map il will be added/removed from the below itinerary.
Pressing this button you will be able to delete any object of your new itinerary.
NOTE: there is not an Undo function, so be careful while removing objects.
Save, store in your archive and close the editing session of your Route/Itinerary. Type the name of the file (in case of duplication a progressive number will be added) and chose the format GPX or/and KMZ/KML you want to save.

In general a new Itinerary can be modified only until you Save it. You can modify name and description of all its items, but remember that duplicated names are not allowed for items of the same type (Marker, Tour, Track) within the same file, so the system might automatically rename them when you propose a duplicated name.

NOTE: to modify an existing Itinerary file you can select it from the file manager, right click and select "Edit as new itinerary" from the context menu.
