    Routing in MapSource is not on road and is offset every time the map is shifted: I tried converting (Splitting) this map to a MapSource version by using GMapTool v 8.67.594b. This method has worked OK in the past but for this India map I get a weird effect in MapSource. If I use the Route tool the route is drawn but does not lay on the road at all although the overall shape of the route is correct. It's off the road by varying amounts 10 to 50 metres.

    If I try shifting the map on the computer page the route offset also changes, sometimes to the other side of the road. Tracks, if hand drawn on the map, do the same thing, as soon as the map is shifted the track shifts off the road but maintains the same overall shape.

    Attached are 2 screen shots showing the freshly drawn route (the picture on the right) and then the route when shifted to the left hand side of the computer screen (the picture on the left). Recalculating the route does not help. I've never seen this effect before so any help would be appreciated. The same thing happens on a friends computer on which he used JaVaWa GMTK to Backup / Restore my map to his PC.

    The reason we'd like a MapSource version is to help plan a lengthy vehicle tour in India. Another way of getting the MapSource version installed properly is to purchase the likes of a Nuvi 50LM India and during the map update process use the option to install to computer as well. I see several vendors on-line, does anyone have any recommendations for one that will dispatch quickly, preferably via FedEx? Thank you.
