OK ... I was never a great fan of Navionics before - like other - they basically sat on the back of Cm93 and Hydrographic Offices ...

With the advent of Boating and Lakes on phones / tablets and the small subscription costs per annum. I tried it and find it very good.

Its handy that sitting in cockpit - tablet or phone in hand - I can change / create / bend routes easily.

BUT one aspect drives me nuts ... lack of Route naming ... auto route saves as a number ... instead of asking for a suitable name. Only when I share via GTX - do I get to name it ...

Anyone worked out how to name a route when its created ?

Yep, cursor at end of route number, backspace to delete, type new name and press return (the need for the last bit foxed me for a while!)

OK ...

cannot change from Route 0XX .. numbered - but if I choose a route and it displays - then I found I can look at details and change name there. Little bit more than replies ... but you guys got me to look harder ..

Thanks
