1. the topbar contains a number of displayed/all items, and the library menu
2. breadcrumb navigation

Your data is managed in a structure of folders and sub-folders. Tracks, routes and points can be mixed. Three levels of nested subfolders are available for free. With Premium, you can use up to six levels.

Each folder line consists of an icon, a folder name, a number of subfolders, a number of items displayed/hidden on the map, and the eye button, controlling content visibility on the map.
