Schedule Stops in MapSource

I use MS streets & trips to do all my trip planning. I import custom poi's from here into it all the time. Then you can see where your stops are and if they have things from the poi's.

Scheduling stops in Mapsource is one of the failings of the program as a trip planner. The easiest solution is to break the trip into segments with each day separate. The starting point for each segment would be where you spent the night with the ending point the next overnight spot.

As others have posted, regular trip planning software does a much better job at handling this as you can plan in fuel, eating, and rest breaks.

How do you add custom POIs? Do you use the "Import Data Wizard" to import CSV POI files?

Love mapsource, i hope garmin keeps the concepts and improves it every year.

You need to use the import wizard. Download the poi's you want from here and put them in a file. Open MSS&T and then import. You have to define which fields you want but that is like the poi. is set up. You just need to remember that the lat and long is reverse in the poi's from what they are in MSS&T. Good luck.

johnm405,

Quick and easy. Thanks for the tip.

I, too, use MS Streets and Trips to plan my trips. I have had issues with the Send to GPS feature, though. It appears to be sending the route to my Garmin, but I can't locate it when I access the Garmin.

Here is a link to show you how to find your imported route from Streets & Trips

Nice tip, spectrum44. I'll give it a try.

If you have Streets & Trips 2010 and use GPX files, you don't need to use the Import Data Wizard. You can use Data - Import GPX File.

Thanks...

I've probably seen this info somewhere before but had forgotten about it.

The Streets & Trips Team blog has moved.
