Quick New Point
About
The quick new point is designed for situations when you need to add more identical points repeatedly during a time period.
1. Define a new quick point
Before adding a quick point it is necessary to define it - point definition enables easy sorting points into logical groups:
Menu > All features > Points > Quick new point > ![](/lib/exe/fetch.php?w=20&tok=7d1705&media=manual:user_guide:add.png)
a new quick point definition dialog opens:
![](/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=manual:user_guide:points:quickpoint.jpg)
Title of the definition - optional, can be left empty
Storage - either a point folder - you can use already an existing or create a new one - or the quick point can be saved as a part of track recording
Icon & Name - points can have their designated icon (otherwise they will inherit the folder icon). The name can include special parameters (tap
![](/lib/exe/fetch.php?w=30&tok=18056f&media=manual:user_guide:ic_add_alt.png)
button):
{c} - inserts a counter of points in folder
{c1} - inserts any increasing number
{t} - inserts a time stamp
{text} - enables inserting editable text before saving
Description - optional description of the point
If you want to share the definitions they are stored in /Locus/data/config/quick_add_point.lb file.
2. Add quick points on map
It is very handy to place the Quick new point button into the function panel >> to call the feature immediately.
