There are two ways to query for a route in Basic Editor: (1) Select From Map and (2) Enter Route.

Select from Map

The Select From Map option can be used to open the Basic Editor from a map-selected location. To query for a route using this option, the user can navigate to the Select From Map icon on the Edit module. This icon will be the first on the menu ribbon. Then, the user can use their mouse to zoom to the desired area on the map and click on that location. This will provide them with a list of routes near the clicked location. If the "Select From Map" icon becomes unclicked during this process, it is probably due to efforts to zoom on the map that occurred after clicking this icon; the user can simply reselect this icon to enable it once more. Finally, the user can select the intended route from the list and click the Basic Editor link at the base of the resulting location pop-up box.

Enter Route

The user can also manually enter the desired route’s information. In order to accomplish this, the user must locate the Basic Editor icon on the Edit module. This is the second icon on the menu ribbon, and it rests beside the Select From Map icon. Once the Basic Editor icon is selected, a pop-up window will appear at the base of the map interface. From this pop-up window, the user can select the "Enter Route" button which will trigger the appearance of a new pop-up window. The user must fill the fields in the window that are listed in the table below. When all fields have a value, the user can click the “Select Route” button.
