Part 2 numbers

I have a course split into 2 parts with a map exchange. How do I make the second part number its controls starting from '19' and not 1?

There is a feature to designate a control as a map exchange control.

Open the control as you would when you want to define the symbolic description of the control. Just below the symbolic description, select the "Control with map exchange" control type in the pull down list.

Once you have done this, all of the export and printing features (except when printing directly from the course layout editor) will let you choose if you export or print part 1 or part 2 of the course.

An alternative, when the map exchange is not placed at a control, is to insert a new start point into the course, where the map exchange will take place. For this option, you probably want to mark the leg from the previous control -- double click on the leg line and check the "follow streamers on this leg" box.

It would be nice if the control descriptions printed on the map said "part 1" and "part 2" after the course name, if using a map exchange.

Also, the first control of part 2 show as a circle. Should it be a triangle? I've seen both used but "The Rules" don't appear to say either way.

Good idea. I'll put that on the wish list.

The first control on part 2 is shown as a circle if the map change is at a map exchange control, and as a triangle, if the map exchange is at a "start point" away from the control.

If the control is marked as a "control with marked route to map exchange" and there is no start point inserted into the course before the next control, then the map exchange point is not shown at all on the map, only the next control.
