Location list
The Location List page lists the locations in Geo Data: the ports, yards, warehouses, offices, customer sites and other places under each city. From here you find a location, open it, see the locations on a map, export the list and create a new location.
To open it, select System > Location List.
Locations are part of the Geo Data tree, so you can also find and add them on the Geo Data page. Setting them up is part of Setting up TrakIT.
