I have a problem with Route Gadget-When I start the plot, there is a blue circle around the first control with a blue line from that first control to the start.   After plotting my course (the blue circle and line still exist), I can't save it (window pop-up states I have not completed the course).  What am I doing wrong or not doing!  Any help would be appreciated.

I'm getting something odd as well - when I attempt to load the GPS track it shows me going to the finish before going to control 25, which of course didn't happen. (on Green, Fort Washington) I tried adjusting the offset, but that's not the problem. I also don't see any erronious points in the GPS data file (meaning I did stop the watch right at finish.)

Ah, I think I figured it out - the time taken out from the road crossings makes my finish time earlier than the time I went to control 25. Using manual instead of splits based calibration fixed it.

when you plot your leg, make sure that you click in the center of the circle. The blue line will then jump to the next leg , leaving only your route in red

Thanks Steve.  That was the answer!  With APPLE, the "finger" not the "cross" must be over the center of the control circle for the blue line to advance
