Important!
To make the route you are creating accurate –
USE LOTS OF WAYPOINTS
The more points you put in the more accurate your
distance calculation will be in the route card and the
more accurate your elevation profile will be.
(note- routes imported from Memory Map often have only a few points so
more will need to be added).

Important!
Once you log out of a map it takes time for eDofE to
