    Thanks for testing this out. It looks like you need to click off the map for it to work - we hadn't spotted that, i.e. if your last mouse click was somewhere on the map, shift+arrow will move the map, but if your last mouse click was anywhere else on the page it should work fine. We'll have another look at it to see if we can find a way to overcome this.

    Hi John.

    I had a test on both Mac and by (virtual box) Windows. Using Chrome browser.

    I suppose my operation technique is ok, but seems not to give the expected position marker shift result. My mistake ? 

    1. Test by Arrow only: Moves the map  2. By Shift + Arrow: Moves the map by bigger steps. Both as was the standard behaviour before.  Suggest pse keep.

     (Ctrl+Arrow is still free)

    We've now added Keyboard Shortcuts that you can use for fine control over the location of the position marker when adding or relocating directions in the route planner (Shift+ and Shift+→). Thanks again for the suggestion.

    Good idea Willy, thanks for this suggestion.

    To say: By ctrl <  >  (= free)    ( < > and shift < >  and up down arrow is already reserved for moving the map)

    Allow very precise exact positioning of the playback glider by extra Slow forward and Slow backward button ? 

    Or without redesigning website graphics: By a slow fine positioning move action by keyboard  <   > buttons ?

    Thanks for that suggestion Michael. The edit marker snaps to the closest point on the route when you drag it, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to confine it to one section of the route. I understand the issue though - we'll keep thinking about ways to improve it.

    I tried using the Playback Slider as suggested. I got the marker to the area where I wanted to place directions. It's hard to accurately place using the slider so I grabbed the edit handle to place the directions where I wanted them (on the return of an out and back segment). When I grabbed the edit handle it jumped to the out portion of the segment. It would be better if the handle would stay in proximity to where it was placed using the Playback Slider.

    Heb je een mogelijks een gpx route gebruikt ? Niet doen dus. 

    Ik heb zelf geen 820 maar de instructies voor gebruik met Edge's vind je hier.
