Add a stop by dragging a route segment

  1. Select the route by clicking it on the map.

    When selected, the route changes color from green to blue, and your mouse pointer changes to a small white flag when it is positioned over the route.

  2. From anywhere along the segment of the route where you want the new stop to appear, drag to the location you want to add as the new stop.

    A dotted line stretches from the current route to wherever you drag.

  3. Release the mouse button.

    Your route snaps, or is redrawn, to include the new stop and the subsequent stops are renumbered.

Notes

If you select your route on the map and then decide not to add a stop, press ESC.

The new stop is added as an intermediate stop on your route and does not replace the existing start or end point. If you want to make the new stop a start or end point, reorder the stops on the Route Planner.

If you don't like the placement of your new stop, you can zoom in to see more detail, click the numbered box on the map, and then drag the stop to another location. MapPoint automatically regenerates your route.
