I'm editing a route and want to move to different parts of the route. What is the best way to get there in the 3D map? I know there is an easier way to get there than just moving the cursor until you get to the spot you want espically if its 20 miles away.

I know if you put the lat. and long. in the navigation popup. and click on the go icon it should take you there. My problem is how do I find the lat. and long. of the place where I want to go??

I go to the 2D map and can easily go to where i want but the navigation popup does not tell me the lat. and long. of where I'm at. (even when I left click on the spot)

From reading the manual I get the impression there ia a way to do this but I just haven't been able to get it to work.

Any help will be greatly appricated.

Hi Dave,
Does the route have a marker file? Click on the silver button icon next to the compass, then move your cursor over to the right hand side of the window. If you get a fly-out with location names, pin that open. You can now select a location name from the list by single left clicking on it, then click on the triangle "Go" button and you will fly to that location. I know at one time you could navigate to other locations in a route by using the 2-D window, but I think this option was lost a few upgrades ago. The only other option if you are working on a prototype route, is to use Google Earth, it will display decimal degree coordinates that you can type into the lat and lon boxes.

Thanks so much for the information. It really helped even though my route didn't have any file markers. I did see the flyout and now I won't keep trying to made the 2D map work.


Thanks again
