Anquet v06

I've downloaded Anquet v06 and a chunk of 1:25000 OS mapping for my local area. First impressions are favourable, but with some niggles, one of them serious.

The mapping itself is very clear, the elevation data is remarkably accurate and I do like the idea of being able to download little chunks of map as required.

However, I have one real problem. I tend to think of routes, tracks and waypoints in the terms used by my GPS (a Geko 301). So, when I'm planning a walk what I usually do (in Fugawi or Gartrip) is to plot a track of the walk and then pop waypoints onto it at regular intervals. It appears that Anquet doesn't allow you to draw tracks as such, it only allows you to plot a track, which it very confusingly calls a 'route', using waypoints. This can, of course, be sent to the GPS as a track, but on the map the waypoints that comprise the track are all shown, which I don't want. All I want to appear on the map is the track and the numbered waypoints and I'm having great difficulty in doing this.

I find the help file to be very poor and I'm struggling to understand just how Anquet handles and stores data, which is different from what I'm used to. This isn't covered very well in the help system either. Any tips would be appreciated.

Oh, one last thing. I have a 1280 x 1024 screen with a DPI setting of 120 and some of the boxes that Anquet opens are badly truncated (I can see just the ends of some buttons and have to guess which is 'OK' and which is 'Cancel', for example. This really ought not to happen.

Regards, Nick.
