Added Route to Home that allows the user to quickly route to their specified
home location

visibility.
Added ability to create a route from a set of selected waypoints
Added support for custom waypoint symbols. There are 8 default custom waypoint
symbols located in the user’s application data directory under the My
Documents\My Garmin\CustomWaypointSymbols. nRoute will handle up to 64 custom
waypoints named 000.bmp through 063.bmp.
Added the ability to batch-edit certain properties of user waypoints.
Added Simulate GPS feature
Added limited support for Blue Chart and Metroguide 5 and greater.

ID from a unit that nRoute is connected to without stopping nRoute.
Added menu item to launch nRoute software update web page
Fixed issue where nRoute would crash when on the Satellite page in Windows 98
and ME
Added context menu to toolbar to control visibility of toolbars and other
controls.
Added Avoid Carpool Lanes to Routing preferences

waypoints, routes, and tracks. These links will be exported to text and DXF

default setting is to show less detail.

discern which direction a selected route is going.

clipboard. Also provided the capability to copy the text of driving directions
to the clipboard from the driving directions tab.
Added temperature and time stamp to waypoints.
Added category & subcategory classifications to property pages for map
features. This was done to help users better understand the classification
scheme and be able to use it in feature finds.
Changed the logic in the driving directions generation software to better
discriminate between the need for a “u-turn” and a “sharp left/right”
turn in appropriate conditions.
Improved the vertical track profile by making the window resizable and adding
keyboard support for scrolling and zooming
Added the accelerator Ctrl-Alt-F to bring up the Recently Found Places.
Added new waypoint symbols to nRoute. Added the following symbols in the colors
red, green, and blue: flags, pins, circles, ovals, rectangles, blocks, letters
A-D, numbers 0-9, and triangles. In addition, added the following individual
symbols: blue diamonds, blue squares, bike trail, police station, fishing hot
spot facility, ski resort, ice skating, wrecker, no anchor, beacon, coast
guard, reef, weed bed, drop off, dock, marina, bait and tackle, and stump.
Modified the waypoint symbol previously called 'marina' to now be called
'anchor' to better associate it with the symbol.
Changed medical facility symbol to a blue cross.
Fixed issue where nRoute would fail if a value in the registry became
corrupted.
Fixed an issue where some map features could be drawn incorrectly when at max
zoom.

ID, like the GPS 12XL.
