[gps-talkusers] Manual Routes

Dear GPS Users,

After quite a bit of messing with manual routes; I have found a way of 
changing both the direction and the description of a way point. I find that 
this ability is important because if there is a minor mistake or detail that 
you meant to add into a way point, now it is possible. The most simple and 
direct way of changing a way point is by going back to that physical 
location and remarking and reentering the waypoint name, direction, and 
description. But, lets say you want to change all of this information 
without being at the pyhsical location.

You would want to open a route that you have previously created, by hitting 
r to get into route command followed by o to get into the open menu, then 
select your route. Walk through the route virtually by using the arrow keys 
on a qwerty keyboard, or dots 2, 3, 5, 6, on a BT style keyboard. Then do a 
chord v to set that point as your virtual position, now that the point you 
want to correct is set as your virtual position, go into the edit mode by 
hitting the letter e, and erase that waypoint, it will ask if you are sure, 
and if you are type y for yes. Now, do a chord e to exit the edit mode, then 
hit chord k to enter a waypoint, it will give you the name of the waypoint 
you just set as your  virtual position, it will ask for both  the direction 
and the description. The point will be placed at the location in which it 
was originated, for example, if the point you marked was waypoint 13, and 
you go and modify the point, it will retain the waypoint number and remain 
waypoint 13. This sequence can be carried out for as many waypoints that 
will require modification to either the direction of the waypoint  or the 
description of the waypoint. Don't forget to save all modification, if the 
modification are  worthy of saving.

Happy Manual Routeing.

Kevin
