Type: Select a category for this route by choosing an existing Type from the drop-down list, or start typing to create a new Type. Learn more about working with types.
Label on Map: Enter the text to be displayed on the map.
Text Size: Set the font size for this route. This also sets the default text size for routes you create in the future.
Name on GPS: Enter a unique identifying name for your route. If your GPS identifies routes by name, this name will be sent to your GPS. ExpertGPS will automatically generate a route name as you type in the Label field.

Map Display Style (for all routes of this type): You can specify a unique map display style for each category (Type) of route that you create in ExpertGPS. For example, all of your driving routes could be a thick orange line, and all of your hiking routes could be a different color. You can use the Fill pattern and color for closed routes like a fence line or property border.
Display Navigation Info: Check these boxes to display the distance, bearing, and back-bearing for each leg of the route. You may need to zoom in on the map.
