Aren't those informations not included? In older versions it works fine.
Thanks for reply.

I concude from your question that you're using MapSource to compile an image. Sorry to say, MS is not fully compatible with large CN and Topo maps, so better to use MapInstall for them. To answer your question though, if the map is routable anyway [as this one is] that field will be automatically greyed out in MS anyway.

The reason for greyed out in MS is NT format. Old non NT format was supported the mode for exclusion of routing data to decrease of map size. Many old device do not have a routing support and its have a very limited memory size into the bargain. NT format do not support this mode at all.

Thanks. I meant exactly that, because he already knew it was a live field for 'older versions' [non-NT]. However to be absolutely clear, i should have written this:

BTW, I've just fixed your post #117 immediately above where you had the quote wrongly attributed to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] when it should have been Roger ... So one good turn deserves another ol' Pal! ..... Dammit! Why is my back still itchy??
