For that kind of route, you would sag south and as you cross the ridge, turn west. Ken, I guess the question is what the shortest distance in air miles. I'd love to punch up Duat and get a wind based routing. The other day I did a SJC turn from DFW. Heading west we went through El Paso. Returning we did the high road up through Coaldale and Wilson creek. We had a tail wind on both legs the Whole Way. Point is my little GPS unit does have an "Shortest Air Miles" pushtile. Although saving a 100 or more miles would be great, I would also give some consideration to shipping activities under my planned route. Keep us informed. Larry Henney 360LH
