Hi All

Don't think you can move the start point but what you can do is add a new point to a route in trip planner, then delete the original start point. Note you can't delete a start point, so you need to add the new start point in second place, then switch that point with the original start point so it is now in second place where it can be deleted.

Note I don't have a XT, but that's how trip planner works on all my Garmin devices.

That works on the XT too.

Beware changing Vias to Shaping points on the XT. The location may be moved and the name changed. Use the shape tool to add, delete and move shaping points.

Today, I discovered something really important. I found another way that doesn't work.
