Cancel my question, I was in the wrong view. Sorry about that.
I am not able to add notes in my directions which I have been able to do in the past without any problems. Now, I click on Directions, then look for the green add, manage and abbreviations buttons, but they are not there, just print directions. Admin others, can you help?
Hi Bradford - Are you possibly on the View Route page rather than editing the route in the route planner?
This tpoic is five years old, but still relevant! All of my annotions are now set. I can't edit any of them. When I rest my pointer on them, I don't get the "finger" indication that enables editing.. Any suggestions?
Thanks, John. I was able to make the edits following your advice. Cheers, Steven
Labels are currently attached to points on the route, so if there is no point at the precise location you want to put the label you'll need to edit the route to place a point there. It is easiest to make small chnages like this by using the Drag Mode feature (at the top of the map), which lets you drag the points on short sections of the map. I suggest you turn the Auto-Plot feature off first if you are just tweaking positions slightly.

Hi John,
I'm trying to add some notes to a route I created, but I am unable to drag the EDIT marker to the precise location where I want to plant it. I've used this feature in the past and somtimes have this problem and sometimes do not. Today I do have problems. On Route 465838 I inserted four locations, three of which are slightly misplaced and which I cannot move. It is a minor nuisance, but still a nuisance that I would like to be able to fix. For example the label L&S located at a 90 degree turn shortly before the 88k marker should be about 100 metres closer to the 88k marker than it is.
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks,
Steven
I'm voting for this. For someone organising an event, it would be useful to be able to indicate parking or a transport link near the start of a route. As noted by Tea Bn (the originator of the request) it would also be handy to note refreshment stops, toilets etc. close to but not on the route.
At the moment labels can only be attached to points along the route. I can see that it may be useful sometimes to be able to also add information to the map at places wheich are not directly on the route itself - I'll add this to our Feature Request list.

Thats helps a lot, just made my first label! By any chance is it possible to add labels not on the route? The use case is like "I don't plan to stop for food over here, but if I get hungry, I can deviate from my path and get some." Either way, this is great. The ability to powerfully edit is so great.
