Hi.  While riding the bus and using the Braillenote
GPS, I have endeavored to create routes as I travel.  I simply have pressed 
space with k whenever the bus stops, and accepted the default names 
"waypoint 1, 2," etc.  I want to go in later, when I have more time and 
edit the route, renaming the waypoints with nearest intersection 
data.  However, I can't get the software to follow the route in virtual 
mode, setting my virtual position to successive waypoints, in order to get 
the intersection data.  Is there a way to set virtual position to 
successive waypoints?  Going thru the list of waypoints with w doesn't 
change my virtual position.

I suppose I could save each bus stop as a poi, and then successively set my 
virtual position to each poi, and then create the route by setting 
waypoints to each poi.  Is this the only way to do what I want?  Again, I 
want to set virtual position to each successive waypoint, in order to glean 
the intersection data to rename each waypoint.
Thanks,
Doug Martin
