Search for in tracks and POIs which are within "This screen"

I think this could be very useful

Thanks:))

Yes, very similar to sorting tracks by distance but actually more useful. I often have the same challenge that i have a ton of tracks (imported) but only want to see those for a particular area. Sorting by distance should work but If could enable all tracks that are within viewing area of the screen that would be ideal. I like this idea!!

Thank you:)

Small addition to this idea: Manually defining an area of search would be great, you would be able to reuse you Manual track drawing components.

Sorry, is it possible to search tracks the same way you can do with pois?

It could be useful enough.

This feature is not yet possible. You may vote for it here http://help.locusmap.eu/responses/extend_search_feature_to_tracks

Menion, does that mean it's impossible for tracks only, but possible for POIs? That's sufficient for me.

Nono, sorry for confusing. I was reacting on previous @Lucio Dal Pan post. He wanted to search for tracks in same way as for points.

Searching for items visible on current screen is doable for points and even for tracks I believe.

Hi Menion,

Actually I can't see a real difference between elmuSSo suggestion an mine in post that you linked above.

Maybe I'm wrong, but there is NO way to search in tracks (except sorting folder by folder, that is not "search"): neither by name, neither by text, or for coordinates...

If you told me I'm wrong, I could be happy: yuppee! I've got 3, 2, 1 method(s) to search tracks! :-D

Difference is that you want to search for tracks. ElmuSSo wants to search for tracks, but only in currently visible area (or defined area). I pointed you on a topic, where is exactly what you need - general searching for tracks.

And yes, it's currently not yet possible in Locus.

Oh, that's why I'm sooooo sad! :-)

Apart from jokes, Menion, please read again what I wrote there: http://help.locusmap.eu/responses/extend_search_feature_to_tracks.

I referred to that post.

Difference is between "around the center" and "in current screen/view": not so relevant.

After all, point is that we need some way to find tracks.

Please, I'd like to know why search in tracks is not possible. I'm not so skilled, but I took a look inside database: tracks table is very similar to waypoints table, so I can't understand why don't extend to tracks the same search capabilities that are allowed for POIs offline.

Thank you a lot for your job and your attention.

I never said, search for tracks is not possible.

It's just because there were not too big pressure on me, I personally never needed this feature and no topic with high amount of votes exists (9 in this case isn't so good).

Anyway we currently plan some improvements (again after two years) in database structure, so it will be possible in a lot easier way in future.

Are 18 votes enough to do something in that direction? :-)

Ok, thank you so far. Its not the end of the world...

Maybe I do some promotion... ;-)

For me it's end of the world :) I can't find track going through a given area to repeat the track on a bike. In searching I'm getting hundreds of tracks that are nearest from STARTING PONT and not going through showed place.

Good day guys,

hopefully good news.

I've (in next version 3.36+)

1. improved current "search in tracks" and option "track around" should now return a lot better results. Search is based on detection of defined base location vs line "start point -> end point"
2. added option to search for tracks really precisely. This compare base location with fully loaded track geometry (no simplification), so results should be precise. This method is anyway based on my tests, around 10x slower then method no. 1, so test is and let me know.
