Adjusting route in Mapsource

 

Just started using Mapsource and having a few problems. Can't find the answers in the manual or on line.

1. When I make a route, change the route from pink to yellow and then try to adjust a portion of the route, sometimes it works and sometimes not. I am exactly on the route, over the route, under the route, right click, left click, etc. but still haven't found the secret to make it work every time.

2. Sometimes when I make a route it will make it a round trip instead of just one way. What am I doing wrong to make this happen?

Thanks

What version of MapSource? Some versions are a little buggy. 6.13.7 is a good version. And version 6.15.15 seems to be working okay.

1. Be sure you are using the Pointer/Selection Tool. Single click on the route to change it to yellow with red arrows. Single click on it again near the point at which you wish to make a change. This will "rubber band" the route at that point. Move the route to where you want it to go and single click again. Note that all the 'single clicks' are left clicks. Repeat as needed.

2. Not 100 percent sure what you mean or what is happening, but here's what I do. I put a Waypoint at the start and one at the end. Then I switch to the Pointer and make the changes with that.

MM thanks.

1. Using version 6.14.1 DVD that Garmin sent me. I am using the Pointer/Selection Tool and placing it on the line but that doesn't work. Read on a Zumo forum to draw a small (very small) box on the line and that will "rubber band" the route at that point. Seems to work if you get the box small enough.

2. Your answer to my second question to put a Waypoint at the start and one at the end and then change to pointer and make changes solved that problem.

Thanks again

Yeah, 6.14.1 is an awful version. (Not your fault.) Update to the latest version and try it.
