Converting a location to a stop
Release 8 E-mail This Topic Printable Version Give Us Feedback

Finding an address is a useful feature; however, with StreetMap you can achieve much more. With the location identified in the previous steps, turn it into a stop on a route. There are two easy techniques that allow you to turn a location into a stop.

  1. Tap the Convert to Stop Button.
  2. Alternatively, tap and hold your pen within the location callout box area until a context menu appears, then tap Convert to Stop.

    Either of the above techniques creates a stop that can be used in a subsequent route calculation.

    Note
    You can easily collapse a callout box for a stop if you find it obscuring the map. Make sure the Find Location button is active, and tap on the x mark on the right side of the callout. To restore the callout, tap the numbered stop symbol.

    To complete Exercise 3c of this tutorial, you will need to have at least four stops. Under normal circumstances, however, only two stops are required to generate a simple point-to-point route. Now add another stop along your route.
