Tutorial: Create a Route
There are several different methods for creating a route on the Route tab. You can
designate a start, stop, via, and finish for your route. You can also designate:
• Your method of transportation—car, bicycle, or on foot
• The route calculation—road quickest, road shortest, direct, or trail
Special routing preferences, such as establishing speeds for particular road types,
preferred roads, roads to avoid, and more.
You can also create a route on a map using the right-click function or with the route buttons
on the toolbar. These two features let you create routes while using any tab in the program.
For more information on using these alternative methods, see Creating a Route .
For more information about adding stops and vias, see Adding and Inserting Stops and Vias .

Step 1—Set the route start
Click the Route tab and type the start location for your route in the Start text box.

and then click Add to assign the stop.
Note The Stop text box clears itself after you click the Add button. This allows you to use
the text box to add more stops.
