1) Using the Edit function, both the Route Title and Route Comments can be filled with a maximum of 128 characters each. How do you access and scroll back the information in the field ?
2) Can a POI be inserted into a saved route ? ie How would I input the top of Snowdon as a POI. I have it in my list of POI's, but can't seem to be able to transfer or drag it over to the completed and saved route. |

Please don't bite my head off if I've misunderstood but from GPS Map screen(with route already selected)
Main Menu - Routes Menu - Edit - Select Edit Title - Edit.
The keyboard shows and if you do not press any key for about 5 seconds a sub window showing seven lines of text. As far as I can see the only other way is to scroll manually through the list with the jostick. |

The follwing works for me, but if I am reading you correctly it's not working for you.
Saved route loaded and selected.
From planning page I go to 'POI Categories' select the POI and press 'edit'.
Select 'edit location by map' and then 'edit'.
I can then use the joystick to drag the POI and add as required.
Incidently, I'm using version 1.16. |

Just for clarification and risking confusion, I don't believe that, strictly speaking, you can add a POI to your route file. I can find no reference to the POI in the route file though it's just possible I've missed it.
The POI is saved with its coordinates in a special '.map' file that is in addition to the route file. The software just reads this file and flags a warning as required.
If I am correct the upshot of this is that two different routes can share the same POI, and you must aways remember to load the relevant .map POI file with your .map route file. |

| Well I seem to have been able to load and save POI's to a saved route. |

| Can you post the line or tag/attribute for the saved POI, it might come in handy in future. |
