Deactivate Route - Stop Navigating

Hmm... Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you stop navigating a route? (Opposite of 'Set Active' in the Marks window).

Never really thought about it in the past...simply ignored...but someone asked me.

Re: Deactivate Route - Stop Navigating

I have always had an empty route ( named empty ) and just set it active

Yes - This works!  Never thought of this.

Still interested to know if there was a 'correct' way to do this.

On the Marks tab click Visual Marks
then click OK
then hit ESC

That's the 'correct' way imho       :-))

Ingenious!

As mentioned, there is still a residue left with this method.

Both techniques serve the purpose though!

Thanks!

Re: Deactivate Route - Stop Navigating

Nice.  'Clear Active' feature implemented in v10.9.4!

That's awesome.

Thanks.


(Did the 'Set Active' feature change in the process?

To 'set active' we need to select a way point in a route.  Could we 'Set Active' by pressing the un-expanded Route Name before?  Or was it always like this?

It's such a minor issue, so no changes required, but just curious.)

Re: Deactivate Route - Stop Navigating

Looking at it, it may have aways been that way. If you select a mark in a route, it activates the route and sets that mark as the active route.

Have added a mode where if you select the route and not a mark in it, it will activate the route and set the first mark as active.
