Duplicate Route and Change the Route Type

We are now going to open a second route by duplicating Route 1:

  1. Activate the Route 1 entry window using the Windows menu – select it from the bottom of the menu.

  2. Choose Duplicate Route from the File menu. The duplicate route is named “Route 2” by default.

  3. In the Route 2 window, click on the Options button in the City or Address tab and change the Routing option for Route 2 to Shortest, then click OK. The new route will automatically run.

Click on the map window and see how Route 2 has been altered because you changed the route type. It is also interesting to note that Route 2 takes significantly longer than Route 1 even though it travels a slightly shorter distance (we’ll create a Comparison Report in the next step of the Tour to see this).
