Something I remember being bit by is choosing Closest entry point for a loop route in which start and end were the same. CEP made it the shortest ride ever. I was at the end before I left my driveway. :lol: I have also had CEP want to take me backwards a long way when using it to try to join a route midway. Those issues aside, I have had pretty good luck with CEP but checking the map for what it produces is indeed wise.

Thanks to all for the input re CEP. I’d just noticed how much longer it took to (re)calculate your route when choosing start point over CEP.

I moved from a 346 to the XT2 so didn’t have CEP as an option before. I miss the simplicity but not the small, impossible to see in bright sunlight screen. Modifying a route on the go is so much easier too.
