Thank you for this tutorial. I have been playing around with mapsource and I find it to be not very intuitive--but once you get the hang of it, it does get easier. I have also found that if I set my routing prefs to highway all the way, it starts doing some wacky stuff. Making me go off for almost 10-15 miles, just to take a highway instead of a regular road. Thanks again!
That's a great commentary ... I am just about to buy a Sat Nav for here in the UK and Europe so thank you for taking the time to give me a " heads up ' ... how much easier it is when some one shows you !
For some reason when I create a route using two waypoints like you did it just creates a straight line between the waypoints, and doesnt use the roads. I've checked my route preferences and have car selected as my transportation mode along with use highways, no luck. Any idea whats going wrong?
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this tutorial. It gave me just enough information to get started and figure the rest of the software features out. I really appreciate it.
Appreciate you demo! I do have aprblem that perhaps you expereinced: I encounter a way point (or something) when I move the route. A black dot on the route. It then interferes with making further route changes acting like a break point. More accurately.
@golfnskibc Sorry for the delay in responding. I haven't experienced what you're describing, so I really don't have an answer for you. If you're moving a route that has already been created, you simply click somewhere on the route quickly. When the "rubber-band" tool appears, just reposition the route.
Thank you for the Tutorial, I appreciate your time as I am a new HD Zumo 660 owner, this has been very helpful...

do you need to pay something for the maps ? or you just get them with your mapsource ?

Have a wide light purple down the whole route, when I click on the road it goes dark purple, cannot get the yellow or the rubber band

Excellent job, maybe you can help me. Cannot get the purple route to go yellow. Must have something turned on or off that should not be.

@transus4 Either click directly on the route or select the name of the route in the left hand Mapsource window on the Route tab.

Thanks for the short-n-sweet tutorial. I know I'll have to eventually anyway but I hate reading manuals! Good riding, Chip
