Hi Pat - Are you referring to the Auto-Plot feature? You can plot anywhere on the map with the Auto-Plot feature turned off but occasioanlly a path shown on the map will not be recognised by the Auto-Plot feature. We use routing services from MapQuest to auto-plot on the Paths map, so it could be that their routing data does not refresh as frquently as the source we use for the map images.

Why are some paths on Openstreetmap which are visible with Plot a Route not available to use as part of a route.
