Long-route Planning
Plan a longer direct journey by controlling the broad corridor, intermediate connections and local approach to the destination.
From map instruction to checked route
Read the task, anchor the endpoints, remove prohibited movements, compare direct valid options and review the plotted result.
Core concepts
Concept 1
long route
Exam cue: Choose a sensible overall corridor before resolving every local turn.
Concept 2
overall corridor
Exam cue: Recheck long routes in segments so that one missed connection does not invalidate the whole plot.
Concept 3
intermediate continuity
Concept 4
destination approach
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Optimising a local segment while sending the whole route away from the destination.
Guardrail: Do not rely on an old assessment count, atlas format or remembered London route when the current map and task supply the controlling evidence.
Skipping a continuity check at an intermediate change of road.

intermediate continuity and destination approach
Review these together when applying long-route planning.
Long-route Planning: avoid
Optimising a local segment while sending the whole route away from the destination. Also avoid skipping a continuity check at an intermediate change of road.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
