[gps-talkusers] Re: A newbie with a problem finding a poi I know is there

Kevin,
Thanks for the information. I did not go that route initially due to not knowing the El Dorado's address. So would casinos be listed under some other category? I now am curious why casino was not listed as a category. 
Regards,

Al Taitague

Al,
I would recommend performing an Address Lookup as it will take a fair amount of time to do a POI Find using the all category for this distance. You would 
want to press READ with S to Set an Address.
State: Nevada
City: Reno
Address Number: 345
Street Name: Virginia
Select, "Virginia St, N"

You could then set this point as your destination and create a vehicular
route by pressing R for Route Commands followed by V for Vehicle Route.

Kevin

I recently tried to create a route from my home(Fairfield, California) to
the El Dorado casino in Reno, Nevada.  I pressed read with f to do a poi
search.  Then I began my search 140 miles to start and 160 miles  as the
max, for Reno is about 150 miles away. However, when I get to the category 
section.  I do not find anything that even resembles a casino under the
category list. So I tried choosing all and typed in my search string: el 
dorado.  But I keep getting a no poi found response.  Am I doing something
wrong? This casino is one of the more popular ones in Reno so I would think 
it would be listed.  Any ideas?

Regards,

Al Taitague

A manual route is one where you program your own way points instead of
having the unit do this for you. I find this particularly useful when
working off street grids. The biggest advantage in my opinion is that
you can even program these routes where very little mapping has taken

place.

For example, I live in a park that simply shows up as Trails West, but
I have programmed many routes within the park by simply hitting R for
route, O for open and typing in the desired name. If the route does not
already exist the until will provide prompts in very much the same way
as for creating new word processing documents which haven't yet been
created. You can then use K with space if you have a braille keyboard
and follow the prompts to create your own way point. This is great for

rural environments.

I have even used it to locate my tent in a crowded campground. Be sure
to hit r and C to close the route and it will ask if you want to save
it. You can also simply go back to the main menu and the unit will
provide prompts for saving the route. I hope this helps explain the

difference.

Hi, I think the idea of a monthly chat is good and I would be more
likely to do this.  I have a hard time remembering about the weekly
because am so busy then.  If there were a specific topic of interest
I could then schedule and make the effort.  I have a question.  What
is the manual route creation? How is that different from automatic.
I am still trying to figure this whole thing out.  I have created
route by just putting rv for vehicle or pedestrian.  Still am
confused about some things, and am big braille user, and sometimes learn

slower when by speech.  Thanks.

Karen and Harpo Also
