The following applies to routes that contain alternate routes created with MarinePlotter 5.1.0 or earlier.
The MarinePlotter 5.2.0 and later will not correctly display a route with incorrectly formatted alternates.
To edit the route file, open the file with the Windows NotePad program or any other suitable text file editor.
If the route file does not contain the following errors, you do not need to edit the file for these format errors.
If the file contains "count=" and some numeric value (such as "count=4",) remove all "count=" entries (for example, remove "count=4").
If the file contains cascaded "alternate" and nested "alternate" entries, then you need to change the entries to a list.
A sample of an incorrectly formatted route file is shown in Figure 1.
A sample of a correctly formatted route file is shown in Figure 2.
In the correctly formatted route file with alternates, the alternates contain no "count=" items; and, the "alternate" elements are in a list.
