As an aside, I wasn't planning on attending this years rally, but if you're going to come all the way over again, I'm going to feel like a putz for not making the effort.
R4N, it came from being in a tropical paradise on my own with nothing to do on a Sunday.
Sadly, I'm not coming this year. Can't afford to do it too often and I've lots of other commitments. I was just hypothesising for the sake of the story. Pity. I'd like to do it all again.

Thanks for doing all this work.
Where I seem to be breaking down is around picture 19-22 or so. Above picture 22, you say that I have to "delete the route" and "reset the route". I can't figure this out. It could well be that the layer thing is my bugaboo, but I'm really not sure. :-(

Hio again,
See if you can open this ...

Hey, Bob. Well done. That map looks pretty good to me.
Looks like you've figured it out, but for the record, I'll respond to your question. Mostly by waffling around it.
Layers: the software forces waypoints and routes to be kept in different layers. To work in a layer, you have to activate it. To do that, simply click somewhere in the layer box on the left of the screen.
Route correction: If the software calculates a different route to the one you want to take and you have to go back and insert another waypoint or two, you also have go back and delete the parts of the route all the way back to the waypoint immediately before the new one you've just inserted. You do that by getting into the layer box for that route and clicking on the cross for that entry which appears on the right of the layer box. I can't see a picture where it appears, but hover your mouse pointer over the entry and you should see it.
This is a PIA, but given you can insert way points in any order and you then can't move them, I guess that's how it has to work. Indeed, to free up a layer or save memory, I think you might be able to delete way points after you've created the route. But don't then delete the route.
