Shaping point question - followup from another thread

Falagar, I wanted to follow up on a comment you posted in another thread that had gone a little off-subject, regarding shaping point support. I am asking it here in a new thread because I thought it might be of general interest and I was afraid to bury it down in the old thread.

Your comment was:
currently the older Zumos support shaping points as long as they are not "real" waypoints (just route points created with the route tool) and they are located on either an intersection or an address


When I use the "insert" tool to shape a route, those vias are created with the "don't announce" attribute. In my experience, on my 660 with current firmware, those behave properly as "don't announce" shaping points. I never try to place them on intersections; I just drop them on roads to shape my route.

My question is: what does the "address" requirement mean? As long as they're on an identified road? Some of mine do show up in the via list as "xxx Main St" and such, but some show up simply as "Hwy xx".

Can you clarify the address requirement for me?

Thanks for all your help,
Jim
