WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

After you calculate a route in Microsoft Automap Road Atlas, you are unable to remove the following symbols from the map:


 * Start
 * End
 * Via boxes
 * Gas Pumps
 * Beds
 * Times

= RESOLUTION =

There is no direct method to remove these symbols from the map.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Automap Road Atlas version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Although you are unable to prevent the Gas Pump symbols from appearing on the map, if you set the value for fuel capacity to 1,324 gallons and set Miles Per Gallon (MPG) to 186, and then you recalculate the Journey, you can significantly reduce the number of symbols that appear on the map.

Likewise, you are unable to prevent the Bed symbols from appearing on the map. However, if you set the driver’s hours to start at 12:01 A.M. and to end at 12:00 A.M., and then you recalculate the Journey, the distance between the symbols will dramatically increase.
