Adding Points to Route:
You can add routing to your map from the Control Panel and selecting the routing icon.
- You can add stops to your route in the following ways:
- Click on a point on the Map. The first point you click becomes the Start point. The last point you click becomes the End point.
- Click on Add Address. You can enter an address or place a point on the map. Placing a point on a map will cause an icon to open on the map screen. This will allow you to confirm the correct address data is being used and whether to use this point as the Starting or Finishing point
- Click on Multi-add. You can then click on the map and draw an area selecting all the points inside that area.
- You can now add points from polygons. You can do this with Custom Areas that you have manually created, geographic boundaries, drive time boundaries, and territory boundaries.
