Find Duplicate Feature Names?

Can GM highlight duplicate feature names? I realize I can sort in Feature Name Order and duplicates would appear next to one another. But that puts me into pattern recognition mode. Can the search engine aid my weak eye/brain?

Yes, in v11.02 you can use the Search->Find Features With Duplicate Attribute Values menu command to find features that have duplicate values for an attribute or name.

Found it and was able to correct a half-dozen errors in that layer. Never would have found them the eye/brain way.
Two minor complaints:- When I click on a object, the zoom is so tight I cannot see the tree for context, only the limb.
- related to 1, in order to interact with the map, I have to close the duplicate search dialog, unlike the other search dialog which stays open.
Perhaps this search feature could be incorporated into the main search dialog which stays open and allows map interaction?
Thanks for a useful tool. -
The duplicate results dialog should just recenter your map at whatever the current zoom was when you double-click on a result. So just get your map zoomed to where you want it prior to running the command, then you should be able to double-click and pan around easily.
In addition, whenever you select an item in the duplicate results list, it should be highlighted on the main map display, so if you have your map zoomed out you can easily see what you have selected on the map.
We may eventually make the duplicate results dialog allow modifying the map display window, but this does introduce some additional complexities.
Thanks,

Global Mapper does not support exporting to the OVI format used by Nokia mapping software.
