Structure of the RoutePack List

The route list displays multiple routes and individual legs of multi-leg routes. The RoutePack List structure is in a hierarchical tree format in keeping with Windows file conventions. A route with a plus sign (+) next to it indicates that the list of legs or waypoints for that route is collapsed. Clicking on the plus sign (+) or double-clicking on the route name expands the list. Clicking on a minus sign (–) collapses the list to make it easier to see the rest of the route list.

NOTE To hide routes quickly in the Enroute Charts view, collapse them in the RoutePack List. Go to Tools > Options > Display and select Hide Routes that are "Collapsed" in the RoutePack List check box.

Selecting Waypoints & Routes

You can select multiple waypoints or routes by holding down the CTRL key and clicking the desired names. Select a group of routes or fixes in a row by holding down the SHIFT key and clicking the first and last names in the line you wish to select. All the intermediate items are selected, along with the two items you clicked.

Displaying Distance, Fuel and Time along the Route

View the distance, fuel, and time between any waypoints in a route by selecting them in the RoutePack List. The values display on the left side of the status bar after the route name.
