4.4.3.

Is azdrmn on vacation? I thought sure he would post drag & drop route fix for next update.

I've got a bad feeling about the whole software side of Garmin right now. It's been way too quiet on more than one issue.

Drag & Drop route editing is still broken, back to 4.3.3. <sigh>

I'm not familiar with this issue. Could someone elaborate on what's not working or give the steps to recreate? Thanks!

Kind Regards,
Greg

When you drag a route in a previous version of BC, the route would snap to the nearest road and insert a shaping waypoint. It was just an easier way to change the route than creating a waypoint and dragging the waypoint to the route. Creating a waypoint and dragging to the route stills works but the last two version of BC will not snap to the nearest road, the route just reverts to the old route.

We (azdrmn included) are not seeing this behavior on 4.4.3. Could you verify under the Controls tab in Preferences that you don't have the 'Use Option while dragging to move data' box checked? If not, then what map and coordinates of the beginning and ending route waypoints are you using that demonstrate the issue? Drag and drop coordinates would be appreciated as well. Thanks!

It's intermittent at best. Maybe once in 20 attempts will work, sometimes 3 or 4 edits in a row and then useless again. This is with a fresh instal of 4.3.3 on an iMac running Yosemite. It's worse when dealing with secondary paved roads but will fail even with major highways. I've included the test route I used today.

Settings:

This attempt was placed directly on the town



and here's an attempt to route to a major divided highway.



What am I doing wrong?

You are doing nothing wrong. v4.4.3 is broken.

Damn Dan, sorry. I forgot the sarcasm smiley. ;-) When I get a "We're not seeing this behaviour" answer to a widely reported problem, my spidey senses start tingling and I tend to get a bit facetious. 4.3.X re-installed.

I checked and the Use Option while dragging is not checked in preference.

Are there only 6 of us that can't drag a route and get a shaping waypoint inserted? Have not tried as many times as Steve but every time I try the route just snaps back to the original route.
