 All user content within the selected folder can be filtered according to a set of criteria. The filter has three layers. Each of the layers has its parameters:
   * **Basic** - general criteria common for tracks, routes and points:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:mylib19.jpg?nolink |}}
-  * **Points** - point-related criteria like icons, max. distance or parameters of geocaches - this level can be disabled when the folder contains no points or when you don't want to filter points\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:mylib20.jpg?nolink |}}

   * **Tracks** - additionally, tracks and routes can be filtered by activity:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:mylib21.jpg?nolink |}}\\ This level can also be disabled when the folder contains no tracks or routes or when you don't want to filter this type of data.
+<WRAP center round tip>
+With filters, you can **select tracks only or points only for displaying on the map**. Example: turn off the point filter level. Only tracks or routes can be seen in the folder. Now you can work with the folder like no points are in it.
