Most of my routes were created in older versions of BC, using the method described below. They still work fine in the new BC and in my zumo 660. The problem is, when I try to create new routes using the old method, bad things happen.
Old method: create a temporary list so that the map is clean and uncluttered (the equivalent of a new "instance" of MapSource on a PC). Copy any needed waypoints into the temp list and use them to create a route. Create any new waypoints necessary to force the route and insert them as needed. Copy the route and paste it into an existing list based on how I organize data. So if it's a new route on Cape Cod, it goes into the Cape Cod list. Then I delete everything in Temp so it's ready for the next task.
Why that won't work any more: In BC 3.3.1, if I create a new route in Temp, all waypoints used in that route must remain in the temp folder. If I erase one, it gets removed from the route, no matter where I have copied the route to. If I copy all of the waypoints in Temp and move them with the route, that does not work either, once I erase them from Temp: it still wrecks the route.
Clearly I need to come up with a new workflow, but darned if I can figure out how to 1) start with a clean map, and 2) arrange routes in lists unless I create them in those lists from the get-go.
Thoughts, ideas, comments?
