This may be more trouble than it is worth. I worked on creating the same route I showed previously in the other thread to cross at Columbia Crossing near Laredo - which avoids going through the city - and may or may not be worth it. I did this using Navigator instead of S&T. A new learning experience.
We start at the Texas Welcome Center near Botines of I-35 north of Laredo. Wake up call and we cross 83 to 255 and then down to the crossing.
I found a way to enter the Lat Lon in digital directly on the label for the waypoint where we cross the bridge over the Rio Grande. This could be used to help others find this location.
It took awhile to figure out how to Copy & Paste the Navigator screen as it takes up the entire screen with no other computer functions visible. To do this with our keyboard and laptop using Windows 10 I hold the function (FN) key and the PRTSC key at the same time. I then go to PAINT and PASTE the shot. I then save this in pictures. I can then Drag & Drop this pic to the Picture device at the top of this forum (Forum Help and Support). And then make it clickable to size and Copy & Paste the link to this post. It is so much easier with S&T but maybe I will get used to this if I have to. A lot more work than what has been suggested by others.
