Help - Auto Routing

Auto Routing

When the auto routing option is selected a route will be created between each point following the roads. If the route created was not as expected then it can be modified by dragging one of the intermediate to a new location. When the point is droppped a new route will be created through that point.

Automatically Adding Course Points

When using auto routing Course Points can be automatically added at junctions to aid navigation. Simply select the 'Add Course Points at Junctions' check box and then create a route. Course Points will be added at junctions that tell you if you need to turn left, right, go straight on etc.

Create Track At Side of Road

Normally when using Auto Routing the track will be placed in the center of the road. This is normally fine for most uses, however it can cause problems on some GPS units when creating a course that has an out and in track on the same road. The GPS can sometimes get confused and think you're going the wrong way.
By creating a track at the side of the road this problem can be minimised because the then the out and in tracks are not overlapping each other.

Distance From Center

When using the 'Create Track at Side of Road' feature you can specify how far away from the center of the road you want the track to be.

Side of Road

When using the 'Create Track at Side of Road' feature you can use this settings to specify which side of the road you would like the track to be created on.
