Waypoints window -- routing between two points (PC)

If you are trying to create a route between two or more points, use the waypoint routing method. This method of routing is useful because you can use intermediate waypoints to have the route take specific roads or stop at specific locations on the way to your destination.

Be sure that all the waypoints for your route appear within one folder!

1.	To start, tap or click on any of the waypoints to bring up the Waypoints window. Arrange the waypoints in the order in which you wish to travel, with the starting waypoint at the top of the list. Use the up and down arrows in the Waypoints window to organize waypoint order.

2.	Click Route to process the route and display the result on your screen. Processing time depends on how many waypoints are in the particular .way file and the distance between points.

The software now supports avoid points when routing. This is useful to allow the software to avoid routing through congested areas or along particular streets. (See Managing Avoid Points to learn how to create avoid points.) These avoid points are stored in a folder called avoid.way in the Waypoints window.

If you are trying to route across country boundaries, make sure you have loaded basemaps for all the countries which you are passing through.

To add a waypoint to the route, see the section on Finding An Address.
