How to split a route in Mapsource into two sections

[davidgibson999]

Does anyone know how to split a route into two or three parts? My problem is I've created a long route which has too many via points to upload to the zumo for one route and I'd hate to have to start over and plot the thing again. Anyone any suggestions?

Load route into Mapsource.

Decide haow many sections you want to break it into.

Right click on the route and select "duplicate" Repeat this until you have enough copies for each section, each day for example.

Rename a copy, day 1, open it and delete all the points after day 1 final destination.

Rename next copy day 2 and delete all the "non day 2 points".

Repeat for rest of the required sections.

Save everything as a Mapsource file

Delete the original full route and send all the sections back to the Zumo.

There may be a quicker way but I haven't found it and this takes longer to type than to do.

There may be better methods, but this is what I'd do:

1. Open the route in MapSource
2. Delete half of it (say up to a particular waypoint)
3. Resave the file WITH A DIFFERENT NAME
4. Reopen the original route file
5. Delete the other half of the route
6. Either copy both routes separately into your GPS or
7. Cut'n'paste one route into the other file
8. QED

I forgot about 'duplicate' - that's even easier!
