-Start by clicking '''[[Add Network Link|add network link]]''' [[File:ImageList-126.png|link=|alt=]]. Now click on the road near the beginning of a TMC-link. This will create the first network link. Make sure that the arrows of the network link are facing in the right direction (usually this will be the same direction as the arrows of the TMC-link are pointing in).

-Roundabouts can pose a problem resluting in 'routing' placing network links everywhere on the roundabout or going off in a nonsensical direction. Roads with different hierarcical levels can also be source of mistakes. 'Routing' will sometimes move the links to a road of a higher level (should it intersects with one), despite the road starting and ending on a lower hierachical level. Finally, in the rare case that the underlying data is in some way corrupted or badly composed, 'routing' will generate a network-link road that follows a completely different route (usually a very long one).
+Roundabouts can pose a problem resluting in 'routing' placing network links everywhere on the roundabout or going off in a nonsensical direction. Roads with different hierarcical levels can also be source of mistakes.
 In these cases the easiest way is usually to lay the network links manually. When doing so, it is important to make sure that the sequence of the network links on the map corresponds with the sequence of the links in the list on the left-hand side.
