2. Then, click on the painter’s palette icon  from the upper left-hand of the screen. The Draw dialog box will appear.
3. There are various draw modes, points, lines and polygons. Select the draw mode that best meets your need. If you want to make adjustments to the color, transparency, outline color, outline width, show area measurement, or show perimeter measurement of the circle, scroll down in the Draw dialog box.
   
4. You may want to start by putting points everyplace along the route where there is a turn. I zoom in to the intersections where there is a turn and Click on the map location to add a shape, or press down to start and let go to finish. (Press CTRL to enable snapping).
5. At the very bottom of the Draw window you can select Undo, Redo or Clear.
6. Next, I want to draw lines connecting the dots to show the proposed route. Click on the Palette icon again if not still open. Select the line in the Draw dialog box. The same options to personalize are available. I zoom in to the area and connect the dots.
