How do I set a default starting point, and default options for all new trips I start?
You can set up as many default starting points and set of options as you want. Open the trip planning dialog, start a new trip and enter the starting point you want (your address, or any other starting point). After the point has been added to the router, set any other options you want (Start/Stop driving times, Highway preferences, etc.). Then, simply save the trip file under a name like “Homebase”, or “MyStartPoint”, etc.. Now, whenever you are ready to start a new trip, just open the trip file you saved earlier (which will have your starting point and your default options), add the desired stop points and calculate your route. Remember to save the new trip, with any additional points to a new trip file, so that you do not over-write your “Homebase” file when you exit the program.
