Stops
Enter each address or cross streets of all the defined stop you wish to add the route.
Automatic vs. Manual Stop Times
You have a choice between automating the time for each stop, or entering each stop time manually.
Automatic: CampSite will automatically determine the time the bus will stop at each defined stop via Google Maps, based on the "arrival time" set for the bus and the distance between stops. To enable automatic stop times, do not checkmark the box for "Manually provide times for stops."
- With this option, you can also add "extra time between stops". After Google Maps determines when the bus will arrive at each stop, CampSite will add the amount of "extra time" that you specify to determine the stop time.
Manual: Enter the stop time manually for each defined stop you add to the route. To enable manual stop times, checkmark the box for "Manually provide times for stops."
The "last stop" for arrivals, or "first stop" for departures will be set automatically to camp's location. Enter the first or last stop of the route, and click +Add bus stop... to set the waypoints in the middle of the route.
You may set any number of minutes to provide extra time between stopes, or manually provide the pickup or drop-off times.
