| 01:21 | Earlier in this series we had created a route map from Mumbai to Pune. |
| 01:26 | Now we will see how to change an existing route. |
| 01:30 | We will change the destination from Pune to Aurangabad in the existing route. |
| 01:35 | This can be done using drag and drop method. |
| 01:39 | Move your mouse pointer on the route. |

| 01:50 | Click with the left mouse button on the route. |
| 01:54 | Move the pointer and drop it at the new location, Aurangabad. |
| 01:59 | B icon appears on the location of Aurangabad. |
| 02:03 | Now we have to delete the ending point Pune. |
| 02:07 | Right click on the ending point Pune, in the existing route. |
| 02:11 | A context menu appears. |
| 02:14 | Select Remove this destination option. |
| 02:18 | Notice that the existing route is seen as a dotted line. |
| 02:22 | A new route from Mumbai to Aurangabad is created on the map. |

| 03:25 | A new route from Mumbai to Vadodara appears on the map. |
| 03:29 | Here Mumbai is the starting point and Vadodara is the destination. |
| 03:34 | Now we will see how to find a reverse route. |
| 03:38 | Click on the Reverse Route icon in the Routing panel. |
| 03:42 | Notice that the existing route is shown as a dotted line. |
| 03:46 | A reverse route from Vadodara to Mumbai is seen on the map. |
| 03:50 | Now source is Vadodara and destination is Mumbai. |
| 03:54 | To clear this route from the map, click on Clear Route icon. |
| 03:59 | Notice that the route from Mumbai to Vadodara has been cleared. |
| 04:03 | Now we will see how to open a route that we had saved earlier. |

Click on the Save Track icon. |
| 05:14 | A Save Track dialog box appears. |
| 05:17 | Select a location to save the track. |
| 05:20 | I will select the Desktop folder. |
| 05:22 | In the File Name field, type the name as Track hyphen 1 dot kml. |
| 05:29 | Please note that the file extension should be dot kml. |
| 05:34 | Click on the Save button. |
| 05:37 | Let us open our saved track. |

| 06:27 | Let us disable the position tracking. |
| 06:30 | Go to the drop down button below Position Tracking and select Disabled option. |
