+Walts Hunting Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I don't recall if this occurred in previous versions but here's my problem I am using Mapsource 6.15.3 and when I do route using the route tool (in both direct and auto) each time I click on a point it leave a little flagged waypoint. I would like it not to do that. I have tried preferences and selecting all of them and seeing if I can change it to nothing but no solution., Any suggestions Quote Link to comment
shivia Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Me too, i hurry to know the solution to do not display these flags. Worse, even i remove the route, these flags STILL displayed. Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 It stinks, doesn't it. Nope you can't get rid of them, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment
Bob Morphew Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Don't use the Route Tool. I first create the waypoints and select the "City(small)" waypoint symbol - it's a small green circle - and then I use "Edit/New Route" and "Insert Waypoints" to create the route. No blue flags cluttering the screen in either Mapsource or on my GPS (60CSx). Also, when I transfer the Route to the GPS, I uncheck "Waypoints" and just send the Route. That way you don't have unnecessary waypoints cluttering the screen after you delete the route. Bob Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Took Bob Morphew's suggestion a bit further and made it easier. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Go to Edit|Preverences|Waypoint and change it to the small city green dot. Now all waypoints when initially plotted just have that dot which is not intrusive and fits in nicely. Quote Link to comment
shivia Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I changed the waypoint settings to small green dot. BUT, i still have blue flags when I trace my route? I miss something? thanks Quote Link to comment
Bob Morphew Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Shivia - You don't "trace" the route. Create the waypoints first and then open a blank new route (Ctrl-R or Edit/New Route) and use the "Add Waypoints" button. Walt - Yes, I have my Preferences/Wapoints set to the green dot and I also check the box "Use these defaults ...." plus use a unique 2 letter prefix for the waypoints in each new route. That way I can upload several routes and the waypoint numbers don't conflict (although Mapsource handles the conflict by renaming duplicate waypoints). Bob Quote Link to comment
