A couple of questions regarding route planning in MyDrive:-
1) Is it possible to insert a new stop into a route (e.g., if you accidentally miss it out during the initial route planning) or do you have to start all over again from scratch? I couldn't find out how to do this when creating a test route the other day, so if it is possible, how is it done?
2) What is the procedure for adding a saved favourite to a route? I tried adding my home location but it didn't appear in the list on the left.
I must admit, I found the whole process of route planning with this application tedious and user-unfriendly. In the example screenshots, I tried to add my home location as the starting point for a route. So it then decided to place me 269 miles from home, in the middle of a river? Or is there something so special about that particular watercourse that everyone should add it to their itinerary? MyDrive, The Smartest Route Planner (According to Google)? - If this is the smartest then I'd hate to see the dumbest.

(2)... You can drag and drop the route... hover the mouse pointer over the route a small white dot appears on the route, Left Click the Mouse drag the route to the required Stop/Waypoint release the mouse button... the route will Auto Snap and follow the roads
(3)... Click on the + sign under the Address boxes, a new address box opens, hover the mouse pointer to the left of the new box, three small dots appear, Left Click on the three dots, drag the address box up/down the list to where you want the Stop/Waypoint
Type the Address into the Address box, select the required Address from the offered listBrianE wrote:What is the procedure for adding a saved favourite to a route?

Thanks for the reply. However, I still have to say that I feel this application is too basic and too user unfriendly. In short, I don't like it and I won't be using it. As soon as Route-app get the problem with connecting to MyDrive sorted out, I shall use that instead if I decide to return to using a TomTom sat nav.0
