    I have been trying to setup named or location markers, so that I can choose which location to start at in a scenario

    how to have locations here in TSC.jpg

    I can only find a tutorial on how to create route markers. But no tutorials on how exactly to do named or location markers where you select the desired location to start at

    I created a csv file, first with

    Longitude | Latitude | Name
    = Did not work
    I changed it to
    Latitude | Longitude | Name
    = Did not work

    How do I set it up correctly?? I am also using a GPS marker set blueprint. Is that right or wrong??

    For my routes I always create a assets folder (Source->Developer->MyRouteNameAssetsFolder)
    In this folder I create a folder named "RouteMarkers". This folder will get a route marker icon in the blueprint editor, and I guess this is important since TS is looking for the file in this location. Use the "GPS marker set blueprint". Add the CSV to this file, and a route marker geo so that you can see them in editor if needed.

    CSV must look like this:
    long,lat,name
    2.399960,48.793295,Paris

    Thanks for that, at least I now know I am using the correct blueprint and created the csv correctly.
    But my route is not reading the named markers in the list as shown above in my screenshot. What am I doing wrong?
    Yes, I have the developer folders setup correctly! How do I tell my route that it's got named markers so I can ideally start my train at in any type of scenario

    Make sure that your route asset folder is activated in the editor for the route (provider/product)
    If you can see the route markers in the route editor they should show up in the list.

    It's not a route marker or a series route marker. Its a location "Set location" so that I can select a location for example I want to start at Brisbane and my route origin is at Cleveland, I could select Brisbane in the Set Location for the scenario and that's ideally where I would start at when the editor loads

    No, if you want the route markers to appear in that box and the drop-down in the editor, this *IS* the correct tutorial. I scanned the whole thing...

    It is the named route markers that will appear in the location list.
