The availability of the routing tab depends on the map products installed on computer. If, for example, you only have a map which does NOT support auto-routing the setting will default to direct routing and the tab will not appear.

I have a Streetpilot 2610 and a copy of the 2008 edition of MapSource^®. I created a route for a COG ride to eat, "Springtime at Kundlas" - May 14th. I want to include a stop at High Point Monument here in NJ as part of the route but my version of MapSource^® does not show the roads within High Point State Park so I could not include it when creating the route.

Last Saturday I check drove the route and created a Track file that shows the way in the park to the Monument. But I've no idea how I can incorporate a section of that Track file into the route or how to create a complete Route file from the Track file in my 2008 edition of MapSource^®.

Does anyone here know how to accomplish either one of these goals?

Someone suggested I'd need to get a third party utility which could be a problem since I'm still running Windows 2000 on my PC.

Mapsource 6.16.3. If you want to add on to a route that you have closed you can do it by doing this:

1. Click on the route with your arrow icon. This will highlight the route.

2. Change your icon to the hand.

3. Right click on the end waypoint. Either end will work. It even remember what direction your traveling.

4. An option will be given to "extend route".

This option is not offered unless the route is highlighted.

Now can someone tell me how to make multiple routes into one route? I know about copy and paste to move routes from one file to the next but once I get two or more routes in one file how to I convert them into one route?

I got the document. Eagerly awaiting the gpx files.
