ok - so, How do I Edit a Route in MapSource?
I cannot delete any of the route and start drawing from where I want to.
I Really don't want to re-draw all 75 miles!
There do seem to be some auto-generated Waypoints that I can delete, but not
enough and not in the right places!
Thanks

What version of MapSource?

Well - I updated to 6.9.1 and easily found how to delete points on a route.
Now, if I could just merge my updates into one route instead of separate
routes - but, it does work.

To create a route from point A to B, 'Your way'.
1) With the 'Route Tool', click on point A, then on point B.
2) Now, right click and select 'cancel' or hit the Esc key.
3) Select the 'Select Tool' (arrow) and left click on the route you just
created.
4) Left click on a point of the route you want to move, then drag that point
to where it should be.

With a little practice, you can make the route follow your desired course.
Then you can leave your GPS at home. <G>
Just kidding, I do this allot when I want to ride the back roads on my bike.
