[QUOTE="Top_Speed1, post: 1147128, member: 28614"] I should explain when/why the "straight lines" sometimes appear from WP to WP... When I'm in BC and my GPS (Garmin/BMW Nav5) is plugged in, it uses the GPS' mapset. A much more detailed and better map than the normal default BC map. So when you see the .gpx file imported (with a discrepancy in mapsets), you get the straight line to WP's. HOWEVER!... you should see the actual route drawn in (maybe a dark gray line) following the actual roads/route. If you have/use the same mapset as I do, then there is no discrepancy's or straight lines of course, only the highlighted routes. A double click on this dimmed (dark gray?) road/route will take you directly to the recalculate function (button). After recalculating, the (dark gray) dimmed out route should now become the highlighted route (I think Magenta is default color if you haven't changed it). I still like Tyre for Travel as an added tool, check it out sometime [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
