With Street Atlas USA
®
Handheld you can create road routes to plan trips.
Note Only one route can display on the map at a time. A route displays on the map as it is
being drawn and continues to display once it is saved. When you create a second route and
save the route file, the map centers on the start point of the new route and the previous
route is cleared from the map. You must end tracking before creating a new route.

1. Tap Tools and then tap Create Road Rte. 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..
2. 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. Tap the Road Route icon when you have
