GPS Trace can you navigate back to start?

Hi
I'm new to streets and trips, I like the program but don't know a lot about it yet. My question is can I follow a GPS trace back to where I started the trace?
I'm in Kino Bay, Mexico and made a trace from Nogales, Az. If I can use the trace to take me back it will simplify the bypass around Hermosillo. Is there away I can do this?
Thanks

Hi mamestra,

Welcome to Laptop GPS World.

Do you wish to just follow the GPS trail, or you would like to create a route that is the same as the GPS trail?

I would like to create a route that is the the same as the GPS trace that I made. Once I've done this it would allow me to share this with other members of a camping membership. The directions around Hermosillo is a bit confusing so a route would be great.
Thanks
Michael

Michael, you could draw "Avoid Area" rectangles to force your new route to be the same as your GPS trail. It's a very powerful, and very easy to use feature of Microsoft Streets and Trips.
