Magix Travel Maps

Please could someone tell me if there is a way I can re-route the path when using the Magix Travel Maps add-in? I recently purchased the PhotoStory Traveller Edition as I run a travel web site based mainly on cruising.

I want to be able to map out the cruise route using the Travel Maps and it works OK apart from the fact that the lines go across land instead of round it! I would prefer either to re-route the travel lines or draw them on myself.

As most of the holidays I take are cruises, this is a real deal-breaker for me if I cannot show the cruise route on the maps.

This can be done within Travel maps.

You have to set more way points and then hide them in order for a route to follow here is a quick example

Set route

Hide waypoints

Route with start and end points only

Animated route

@johnebaker Can the waypoints then be moved around if a mistake is made, say in the middle? Thanks

. . . . Can the waypoints then be moved around if a mistake is made, say in the middle? . . . .

Assuming you mean re-positioned - yes - mouse over the bottom of the waypoint icon, when a circle appears and the mouse changes to a 4 arrow head then you can drag the waypoint.

However not all waypoints are equal - if the waypoint marker only moves you will see a small circle 'support point' is left behind, you also need to move this the same way.

If you need to remove a location that is done under Path and Avatar option.
