Create custom route

[kd0eru]

What is the best and hopefully easiest way to create a custom route? The end goal is to create the route and have it show up as an overlay on UI-View. Is this possible and if so is there a how to of some sort?

Custom Route? Do you mean a highlighted route that is calculated by the program, or a track that you lay down, by clicking at points on the map?

A track that I lay down by clicking on points on the map. It is a bike ride for the ADA that has 3 different routes. They all start and end in the same place but take different paths once they leave the start. All 3 are on main streets, they just go in different directions.

I'm probably missing something here but why don't you just use the Track option of the program to lay down the route?

[kd0eru]

No, you're not missing anything. When I use Mapsource to load routes into Garmin GPS units, I click a start point and then click at verious points along the route and the program connects the points following the streets on the map. That is what I can't seem to get to happen, the track option connects the dots but goes from A to B to C in a straight line, not following the streets. Either that isn't an option or I'm doing something wrong. The other piece of the puzzle is getting this to display as an overlay in UI-View which uses PMap 9 for the maps.

Ah, I see. No, I don't think that's doable. Straight lines only.
