About Route Definition
In addition to setting up the required ancillary data, another important component you have to complete before you can build your trips is route definition.
About Nodes and Stops
A node is a designated timing point that is used in building trips. A stop is a physical point or location where a vehicle stops to pick up (load) or drop off (unload) passengers.
About Plotting Routes
Once your nodes and stops have been assigned to a route, you have the option of plotting the path that the route takes on the system map. The continuous path that is made on the system map from the start and end of a route is called a trace.
Automatically Plotting Routes
The Auto Path feature automatically points to your route using geocoded point data by connecting each stop to stop pair.
