Hi, here's how getting warmer works.
First pick a place near you and type control d to set it as your
destination.
Now, make sure look around is on with space m and m l.
Now type m which is the repeat command and type d for destination.
Now begin to walk and as you are walking the gps will tell you how much
closer or farther away you are from your destination.
You can start simply with something like a tree or your front door or the
Garage or whatever. I actually use this to the exclusion of just about
everything else.
I have no idea why, I think it stems from the days when we had no maps and
the getting warmer method was the only way we could find certain places
unless we wanted to lay our own trail of bread crumbs for a route.
Boy, how far we have come!

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Getting warmer?
Hi all,
Melinda and Smokey, My Mellow Fellow here,
I have a question of my own, and I may have asked this already at some
point, but I've heard of people refer to the "getting warmer" method to
tell when you are getting closer to something using your gps such as an
intersection, destanation, etc. So, what is the "getting Warmer" method,
and if there is a command or series of commands, would someone please
share
them with me? Thanks in advance.
Take care, and be safe out there!
Your friends always,
Melinda and Smokey My Mellow Fellow and April, now our angel dog.
