Signing up for a GEC Account offers you several benefits:

Share all your Aqua Map purchases among 5 devices (Apple and Android).
Have a secure place to store your markers, tracks, and routes. Note: This is not a typical cloud service where data on the device is automatically saved or synced. You need to specifically save your data to your GEC Account archive using the sharing function. Saving the same object multiple times will create multiple copies of the file and will not replace existing ones.
Participate in the Aqua Map community through the Live Sharing feature.
Easily share your data with the entire Aqua Map community using the Public Folder feature.

From the File Manager (left side panel) you can:

Press the "i" (or double click on the filename) to show details of a file. This will remove all currently displayed files from the map and show this one only.
Right-clicking on selected files in the left panel will open a context menu with a subset of available commands:

Note that the first command in this menu ("Edit as new itinerary") allows you to start a new itinerary by copying all objects from the selected files. This is how you modify an existing itinerary file. See below for more details in the next paragraphs.

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'll discover a unique folder called "public." This folder is system-generated and cannot be altered or removed. It serves as the destination for uploading files you want to share with the Aqua Map community. While all files in your GEC Account are private and inaccessible to others, those in the "public" folder will be openly accessible to all members of the Aqua Map community. For further information, refer to the dedicated Public Folder page.

Recall your experience

When you double-click one of your archived files, the system will overlay it on the map.

From here, you can access all the information contained within the file, including track statistics, markers, photos, and routes (if available).

You will also have the opportunity to view depth (when available) and speed graphs, allowing you to relive the entire experience by recalling all the pictures and their locations from when you were on the water.

Create a new Itinerary or edit an existing one

Below, we'll outline the tools available for the purpose:

Creating a new Itinerary involves gathering Tracks, Markers, Routes, and Photos into a single file (GPX, KML, or KMZ). The system will generate this file and archive it in your User Area with the name you've defined (automatic numbering will be applied in case of duplication).
Once the file is saved, you can download it, share it on major social networks, or load it into your Aqua Map (see "Import data from" above).

On the chartviewer, 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, simply 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. After adding 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 current new Itinerary.
Digitize a new route on the screen. Click on the map to place the next Route's waypoint (this will be represented by an icon showing a progressive numbering, the distance from the previous waypoint, the total distance and the compass angle from the previous waypoint). A popup dialog will assist you while digitizing the route.

This dialog box helps you undo the last point, redo the last undo, save, or cancel the digitization. Once you've added the new tour, you can give it a name, description, and color. You can change these anytime until you save the current new itinerary.
Pressing this icon will activate the "split" functionality. This lets you split a linear feature (like a track or route) into two separate objects. First, select the feature you want to split, then click on the position where you want to split it.
Pressing this icon allows you to join two or more line objects together (they must belong to the same type: route or track).
Reverse lines. Once this tool is active, select any line to reverse the order of its points.
Pressing this button lets you delete any object from your new itinerary.
NOTE: There's no undo function, so be careful while removing objects.
Save, store in your archive, and close the editing session of your itinerary. Type the name of the file (if there's a duplication, a progressive number will be added) and choose the format GPX and/or KMZ/KML you want to save.

In general, a new itinerary can only be modified until you save it. You can modify the name and description of all its items, but remember that duplicate names are not allowed for items of the same type (marker, route, track) within the same file. So, the system might automatically rename them when you propose a duplicated name.

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