Comments on Images
Images will appear on the right on computer screens. On narrow screens, the image will appear below this block of text.
1. Main Navigation Screen
Select the Explore icon from the main screen.
2. One of the Explore Screens (Collections)
The screen that pops up next will be the one that you looked at the last time you were in this section. My example shows All' - ie everything that the Collections system knows about. It could be populated with hundreds of waypoints, tracks and routes.
If this screen shows 'Collections' then you are already at Pic 4. If not, then select the three-dot-button in the top right corner. The Screen Shot Camera may obscure this: rotate the screen to portrait view, or turn off Settings->Display->Screen Shots.

3. List of Explore screens.
Click on 'Collections'
4. Blank Collections Screen
The screen is blank - we are trying to create some new collections. Click on the 'plus' button.
5. Keyboard - Enter a Name
Enter a name for your new collection. It helps if you name it according to what you will put into it. I kept it simple. Day 01.
Click Done. That takes you to the 'All' list (pic 2) - so you can repeat from there or just click on the 'back' arrow in the bottom left corner of the 'All' screen. That took me back to Pic 4.

6. Screen After Creating 4 Collections
Having repeated that process another 3 times, I have 4 named collections Day01, Day 02, Day 03 and another - Tour: 3 Day - to which I will also assign everything.
The eye icons allow you to make an entire collection visible or not. The eye on the green banner makes ALL collections Visible or invisible. So making (say) Day 01 visible requires just a couple of clicks. One using the eye in the green banner to turn off all collections. One to the right of Day 01 to make that visible again.
