My main complaint with S&T is that you cannot print just one days directions and map when you have a multi-day trip planned out. A lot of us on Laptop GPS world and the S&T blog have been asking for that function for years.
TT - Mike,
Has Larry ever responded to the requests - or has Marvin chimed in?
I think there is a way but it involves keystrokes and clicks. We do not plan entire routes - we do mostly point to point planning - not always daily but not much more. What I would do would be to put in the LAT LON of the waypoints and Copy & Paste to a new map and save it as that part of the route - making partial routes instead of an entire route. BUT I wish they would make it easier to enter Lat Lon and that you could just Copy & Paste some simple way to Route Planner. Mostly we only print maps when in a town we want a paper map in my pocket for roaming around town. When people ask how to get from one place to another I create a route and either make a picture or sent an .est email they can use - providing they have 2013.
I have a very extensive tutorial showing all kinds of stuff about S&T and I had posted it years ago on the Tiffin Tech Website but I have been doing updates over the years and the Tiffin version is now obsolete - though not a bad basic beginning. Anyway, I do not have a website or way to share my tutorial but if someone else wants to put it out there I am more than willing to provide it. Then maybe as time goes by others will post what they have learned and it will be an evolving thing where people can learn more. Laptop GPS World does have a link to my old tutorial on Tiffin but no new one I am aware of. My tutorial has many lessons and is quite long but if users do one thing at a time and learn how to do it and do some practicing it gets easier to figure out how to do more and more stuff with S&T - just not always exactly the way we would like it to do.
EDIT - forgot - Mike - can you explain Drag & Drop?
