In the ‘Properties of a route’ window you can consult and edit (in some cases) the characteristics of the route you have loaded. To open the properties of a route window, carry out any of the following operations:
•Right click on any point of the route and select the context menu option ‘Properties of a route’.
•Right click on the name of the route in the data tree and select the context menu option ‘Properties of a route’.
The properties of a route window give you the following information:
•Name of the route: You will see the route’s name and the extension (normally *.RTE).
•Distance: The length of the route, measuring the straight-line distances between the waypoint that make up the route.
•Area: This field gives you measurement of the area covered inside the route. If the route does not start and finish in the same point (drawing a closed circuit). Land/Air will draw and imaginary line between these two points to be able to calculate the area.
•Colour: The colour of the line representing the route can be changed if you double click on this field and choose a new colour from the options available.
•Pixel width: Double click on this field to introduce a new value that will establish the width of the line that represents the route.
