Guided Tour: RouteWriter Rest Stops
It is possible for RouteWriter to modify stop times, and to write rest stops.
Stop Times
RouteWriter can be told to set all waypoint stops to have the same stop interval. Do this by checking the Overwrite all stop times check box. Then enter the stop time (in minutes).
Rest Stops
Microsoft® MapPoint®'s routing engine can be set to insert rest stops at periodic time intervals. This option is set on the Route Options dialog box accessible from the MapPoint route panel. You can set the interval between rest stops, and the length of the rest stops. This example uses rest stops of 15 minutes every 4 hours.
RouteWriter can be told to write these rest stops with the waypoints. Do this by checking the Output Rest Stops checkbox in the RouteWriter panel (right).
Here are the results using the route from the previous example. Note that each and every rest stop is written on its own row in in the route. These are marked as "Rest break" and have their distance, time, and geographic coordinates recorded. Note that they do not have any other names or data fields.
RouteWriter is capable of recognizing rest stops for all of MapPoint's language editions.
Next, we look at writing pushpin data fields.
