Route Properties

Is there a way to print the route properties and each of the tabs contained in it. I would like to have specific pages for Properties, Trip View, Time View and Fuel View. I checked in help and checked several threads on this board. I didn't see any reference to it. Thanks

    Follow up on routes and properties

    I tried cut and paste but it didn't work. I tried print screen with no success. Is something I am missing?

    When you press the Print Screen key, the screen image is saved to the computer's memory, not sent to the printer. After you press the Print Screen key, open another software program, prefferably a graphics program and paste the screen image into a blank document either with the "edit" function or by pressing and holding the Ctrl key and pressing the "V" key.

    If you used a graphics program, you can now crop out what you don't want to print. If you used, say Microsoft Word, you cannot.

    Now, using the program you pasted the screen image into, use the print function to print the image.

    The route images I posted here were done this way.

    Thank You

    Thank you for your help. My mistake was not using photo editing software. I tried Word and Publisher. Also, after using computers for twenty years, I never used the print screen key.
    Hopefully the ability to print directly from the software will become available soon. The information is very valuable when planning a vacation. In the NORTH, all we can do is plan for about the next four months.

    We've added printing of the route (including information from the tabs) to our list of possible future features.
  • As I've already suggested via email to development... please also add a "turn by turn" type printout of Routes. Where time, distance and Bearing/Headings are printed for each leg based on the selected vessel.

    Basic Example:

    Route name:"To Inlet" Vessel:"Machria" Speed:30 knots

    Leg# Heading Dist Time
    1 046 2nm 4 minutes
    2 223 4nm 8 minutes
    3 015 10nm 20 minues
    ....
    ....

    Totals: 3 Legs, 16nm 0 horus, 32 minutes, 0 seconds.


    We could then print this out in case of a GPS failure... and use it as a paper chart guide. Or even to draw the route on a paper chart for backup.

    Thanks. I look forward to an update to Homeport....!
