Files and statistics

File list

Once you have opened files, they will be shown as tabs in the file list located at the bottom of the map. You can reorder them by dragging and dropping the tabs. And when many files are open, you can scroll through the list of tabs to navigate between them.

File selection

By clicking on a tab, you can switch between the files to inspect their statistics, and apply edit actions and tools to them. By holding the Ctrl/Cmd key, you can add files to the selection or remove them, and by holding Shift, you can select a range of files. Most of the edit actions and tools can be applied to multiple files at once.

Edit actions

By right-clicking on a file tab, you can access the same actions as in the edit menu.

Vertical layout

As mentioned in the view options section, you can switch between a horizontal and a vertical layout for the file list. The vertical file list is useful when you have many files open, or files with multiple tracks, segments, or points of interest. Indeed, this layout allows you to inspect the content of the files through collapsible sections.

You can also apply edit actions and tools to internal file items. Furthermore, you can drag and drop the inner items to reorder them, or move them in the hierarchy or even to another file.

Elevation profile and statistics

At the bottom of the interface, you can find the elevation profile and statistics for the current selection.

Interactive statistics

When hovering over the elevation profile, a tooltip will show statistics at the cursor position.

To get the statistics for a specific section of the elevation profile, you can drag a selection rectangle on the profile. Click on the profile to reset the selection.

You can also use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out on the elevation profile, and move left and right by dragging the profile while holding the Shift key.

Additional data

Using the button at the bottom-right of the elevation profile, you can optionally color the elevation profile by:

• slope information computed from the elevation data, or
• surface or category data coming from OpenStreetMap’s surface and highway tags. This is only available for files created with gpx.studio.

If your selection includes it, you can also visualize: speed, heart rate, cadence, temperature and power data on the elevation profile.
