The Favorites section is similar to the bookmarks folder for a web browser. It contains a list of previously-visited locations that you have decided you may wish to visit again. Favorites are listed in the same order in which they were added, by default, though you can change the order manually (see table below). The Favorites list is saved whenever you save a session.

Access this section by clicking on the Places panel expand bar entitled Favorites or by choosing View > Places > Favorites.

To nominate an entry to the list:

Do any of the following:

  • Choose Analysis > Add Place to Favorites or right-click within the Analysis view and choose Add Place to Favorites. The following popup appears.



    The popup shows the selected coordinates. You can keep the coordinates as the name or overwrite them with a different name. Press OK.


The following table shows tasks that can be done from within the Favorites section:
