[gps-talkusers] Re: GPS on trains

One thing you can do right now, if you aren't already, is mark points of interest along the way, stations, for example, so you know when you are getting close to your stop. You could mark cities, or anything that is announced as you are traveling. If you ride the train a lot, you'll eventually have created your own routs.
Maybe I'm way off base, I don't ride the train a lot so I'm not sure what else you'd need.

Hello Charles,

I ride the rails a lot, and the ability to get mor information from my GPS
would be very helpful. Thanks.

Actually you with Sendero's GPS you can not explore the railway
network in virtual mode either.  If this is something you wish to be
able to do the please speak up and we will add it to the feature
requests and if we get enough interest it may be included in a future

release.


We also do not allow you to create Rail routes, we may be able to
create Rail Routes if it is something a number of users want as well.
Not sure how helpful it would be, but could be possible.  But your
current position would have to be on a rail and your ending position
as well since we would not allow mixed mode transportation (ie. rail
to road, or road to rail.)

Thanks
Charles

As a Trekker and Sendero gPS user, I can safely say that if there are
any commands in the Sendero system for creating a railway route they
are very well hidden. Possibly if you are traveling in a fairly
populated area and you establish a vehicle/motorized route for either
system, it will probably want to be rerouting very often.
the sendero system does give you a tremendous amount of information
about what your passing.
I think someone should start a list of strange names they find for
POI's so far for me while traveling by train, in one town next to the
station was "terminal Drugs". Not for me think you.
