Hi Chris,Here is my little route that I created from my cabin to the main lodge. I am not sure if you can learn anything from it because I can now reverse it without difficulty when in virtual mode. I cannot understand how it got stuck on telling me that I could not recalculate a manual route. I think I may have to create a route at home and then move away from it to see what it does when I try to open it again and then to reverse it.
Maybe something was holding down the slash key for all I know.While we are on the subject, I didn't always make the best names for the way points. I said to turn west, for example and on the reverse rout, it would not be west. I will be working on that detail. However, when the camp director was walking with me, I felt that I had to write quickly when creating the route in the first place.
If it was you on the phone when I called today to ask about the Radio Shack speaker battery, thanks for the help.

Hi, I did just that. I opened the manual route and pressed R twice. The response was that it could not recalculate a manual route. Is this because I was not in the "beam" of the route at the time I went into it and the program perceived that I was "Off Route!"

Hello, one thing you can do is open the route. R for Routes then O for open. 2. once the route is open, you press R then R for Route, reverse. if it was a vehicle route it cannot be reversed. Only pedestrian routes and manual routes can be reversed. Your other issues sound like mapping issues with POIs. Hope this helps.

With regard to the route I created and then could not reverse later, I am pretty sure now that the problem lay in the fact that I was outside the route when I attempted to reverse it. Now I ask, what could I have done to locate the end of the route where I needed to start to retrace my path by reversing the route.
Perhaps I could have created the destination to be the location of the building where I was and had marked when ending the route creation process. Then, If I could have gone to that spot, I wonder if I could have then reversed the route.
I am now more than 125 miles from there and there is no way that I can get back there in real time to experiment.
Thanks for any input.
I can hardly wait to report the rousing success on this list that others are having. I know the product is very good, but I seem to be in the minority of those who are having issues.
