Adding and Inserting Stops and Vias
You can add or insert stops or vias in any route you create.
• A stop is a location along a route where you want to stop and then proceed
from.
• A via is a point on the map that you want your route to go through. You can
use stops and vias to route you through a particular place or along a
particular road.
Tips
• Turn off Auto Calculate when you are adding many stops and vias.
• Use Add instead of Insert when your start and finish are at the same place.
• Don't place the finish point until you add all your stops and vias.
• Place vias near the beginning of the road you want to use.
• When you calculate the route, if it goes to a via and then returns to the
original path, insert another via toward the end of that road (where you want
to turn onto the next road) to force it to use that road.
Note When using a road as a stop or via, zoom in to ensure you select the correct
road. The selected road segment is highlighted when you click it.
