10.4 Context menu of a route

The context menu of a route is reached by double clicking on any point of the route. The context menu allows you to carry out several different operations that will modify the route.

If you open the context menu from the data tree you will find an addition option: ‘Zoom here’, to situate the route on screen, and three options missing ‘Create waypoint here’, ‘Seek best map here’ and ‘Edit a route’. The operations you can work with from the context menu are:
