Changing the Start Point of a Route
To easily change a route's start point, open up the route on the website. From there, follow these steps:
- Click Edit from the left hand side.
- Select Change Start Location
- Type in a new location, or click anywhere on the map to start the route there.
- Select if you'd like to route to the nearest point, or route to the start of the route.
- Route to the Nearest Point will identify the nearest point of the existing route, and automatically generate a route from your chosen location to that point. The original route will be modified to start and end at your chosen location.
- Route to Start will provide a route from your chosen location to the original route's start point. The resulting route will start and end at your chosen location.
- Note: The route highlighted in red on the map shows your current selection, while the blue highlight shows the alternative routing option.
- Click Save New Route to save the route to your Route Library.
