• Overview—Provides an optimized map of your route and the route
summary — trip distance, trip time, start, total stops, and finish.
• Travel Package—Provides maps of the route with corresponding
directions.
• Turn Details—Prints 2" x 2" maps of each of the turns in your route
directions.
• Directions—Provides action-based directions (turn, merge, bear,
depart, arrive, and continue) including the time frame for each action.
Note You can save route directions as a text file.
• Along the Way—Prints the search results of a previous Advanced Find
search within a current route. The search results are listed as they are
listed in the Find results. The Along the Way option is only available if
you have recently performed a find/category within current route
search in the Advanced Find subtab. For more information, see
Performing an Advanced Search on page 122.
• Strip Maps—Provides detailed maps in the direction of travel of the
route along with directions that appear in the map margin. Strip maps
are not printed North Up like other printed maps. They are printed so
that the direction of travel is always at the top of the printed map.
5. If you selected Travel Package or Strip Maps in step 4, select the miles per
page that you want your route to cover from the Miles Per Page drop-down
list.
Note When setting the number of miles per page, keep in mind that the
number of miles is not the distance of the route. Instead, it equals the width
of the strip map and determines the scale of the map.
6. Select Increasing from the Trip Time/Distance drop-down list to end the
route directions with the total time and distance.
OR
Select Decreasing from the Trip Time/Distance drop-down list to start the
directions with the total time and distance — similar to a countdown.
7. Optional. To view a preview of your selection, click View.
8. Click Print.
