what's the difference?
Reading to Edinburgh via Chepstow. You have a job to do in Edinburgh but instead of going direct you need to go via Chepstow to pick something up, Chepstow is you via point...hope that makes sense.......
errr - so what's a way point then?
what's the difference?
Got it. A Via Point is just a waypoint you want to go through, on the way to another waypoint. It will suddenly all make sense.In the route properties it now shows I have 3 "via" points. But there is no facility to add a via point from mapsource - only waypoints. Does a way point become a via point when it's part of a route?
Have you read your manual?
Of course not.
You can also add a via point (using Mapsource) by clicking, then dragging the active route (highlighted in yellow). Saves using hundreds of waypoints, or adding them manually using the Route Properties dialogue.
How do you do that! I've been trying to modify a route by dragging the active route but can't get it to work. Which tool do you use to drag
Glad you're sorted. It's a good idea to 'drag' the new point to a road outside of a town, rather than the town itself. If you don't, Mapsource tends to double back on itself quite a bit.Marvellous - just read Whatton's mapsource for dummies, sorted!

What's the quickest way to fix this? - delete way points, or start again?
