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.

Yes - This works! Never thought of this.
Still interested to know if there was a 'correct' way to do this.

Re: Deactivate Route - Stop Navigating
On the Marks tab click Visual Marks
then click OK
then hit ESC
you're done
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.
