Creating a Road Route
With Street Atlas USA® Handheld you can create road routes to plan trips or to follow along
when connected to a GPS receiver. Road routes are especially helpful for trip planning,
providing you with turn-by-turn route directions from the beginning of your route until the
end.
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 Road Route
Use the following steps to create a road route.
1. Tap the Menu button on your Palm OS® handheld to display the Street Atlas USA
Handheld menu bar.
2. Tap Tools and then tap Create Road Route.
The Road 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 Road Route mode, a point is placed on the map and a
line segment displays between the points. Then, tap the Road Route icon
.
