Hi,
When manually creating pedestrian roots, make sure your actually at the
place you want your wp to be. Its easiest.

Hi,
I am still trying to resolve this issue of creating manual routes. Here
is what I have solved and where I am still stuck
I have been trying to creat a manual route from my apartment to a rose
garden a few blocks away. 
1. I turned off automatic route recalculation, forced sequential
waypoint following, auto increments off, look-around off, automatic
announcements all turned off, in fact, everything I can disable I have
done. 
2. I go in to virtual mode, create a route and set my first waypoint at
my starting point. 
3. I then move along my route virtually, naming and describing waypoints
as I go. I am very clear as to my cardinal directions.
Now here is where the problems show up: The latter part of the route is
not on the map because it is necessary to descend two  very long flights
of stairs   to get to the rose garden. I have previously recorded some
pois in gps mode while actually standing on the spot which are essential
for completing the route.    I have added these as waypoints while in
virtual mode at the proper locations including my destination.  
However, While I travel along this route either virtually or physically
I get the message warning! off route! If I try to recalculate it I get
the error message unable to recalculate route or unknown route as well
as the warning, off route message. Can someone give me any suggestions
for how to resolve this problem? I want to solve this puzzle on a simple
route before I attempt to go hiking and find that I am being given wrong
compass directions to reach my destination.  
Also, I just reversed the route virtually, and I could not get any
heading at all. And, I have a related question. Is it possible to copy
and paste a waypoint from one route into another route? I know I can do
it within the same route, but when I tried to copy a waypoint, close one
route and open a different one and paste,I got the message, nothing
copied. I even tried keeping both routes open with the same result. This
would seem to be especially helpful if one accidently erases a waypoint
like I did and the very one needed resides in another route. 
 
And finally I would Ideally like to create a route that begins and
returns  to my starting point without coming back by the same way. In
other words, a big circle or rectangle. Reversing the route will not
work in this situation. 
Thanks for any help you can offer me.
