Route
Creating a Direct Route
With Street Atlas USA® Handheld you can create direct routes to plan trips or to follow
along when connected to a GPS receiver. When you calculate a direct route, the shortest
distance between the start and finish points is measured with a straight line, without turns
or following particular roads.
Note Only one route can display on the map at a time. When you create a second route
and save the route file, the map centers on the start point of the new route (if you are not
tracking along a route) and the previous route is cleared from the map.
To Create a Direct Route
Use the following steps to create a direct route on your Palm OS® handheld.
1. Tap the Menu button on your handheld to display the Street Atlas USA Handheld
menu bar.
2. Tap Tools and then tap Create Direct Route.
The Calculate Direct Route icon
displays in the upper-right corner of the map view
screen and the Erase icon displays in the upper-left corner of the map view
screen.
3. Tap the locations on the map where you want to place each point in the route. Each
time you tap the map while in Direct Route mode, a point is placed on the map and a
line segment displays between the points. Then, tap the Calculate Direct Route
icon
.
Notes
• If you have placed a point on the route incorrectly, tap the Erase icon. The
last point placed, as well as the line segment between it and the previous
point, is cleared. Clear a whole route by tapping the Erase icon until all
points and line segments are cleared.
• If you need to pan the map to place another route point, drag the map to the
appropriate location and tap the map view screen at the desired location to
place the next point and line segment in the route.
