WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

When you load a saved Journey, Road Atlas does not use many of the settings you saved with the original Journey. Instead, Road Atlas calculates the Journey with your most recently used settings.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Saving a calculated Journey in Road Atlas for Windows saves the Start, End, Via Points and Route of the Journey. Speeds, driving hours, type of roads preferred, and fuel costs are not saved.

The Help file text in the Save Journey dialog box states:

You can save the details of a journey to be recalled using the Load Journey command in the File menu. All the values in the Set Journey dialog box are saved. Note that speeds, costs, road preferences, and driving hours are not saved and have to be re-entered when you load your saved route.

The Automap Road Atlas for Windows Help file Index for Saving a Trip states:

NOTE: Road Atlas saves the map region, the details of your trip, and your route settings. It does not save the table directions itself, since any changes you make in your map or your preferences require that you recalculate the route to get up-to-the-minute directions.
