Hello, Catherine-
How nice to see a posting from you! This is Sandy Staples, a person from
long ago and far away (well, California).
The Sendero BN GPS automatically closes routes when the destination is
reached-- which I have found vexing at times! But it is not always efficient
to reverse route in a vehicle, so setting a new route back to the starting
point does make sense (one-way streets, medians prohibiting a U-turn, etc.).
It is a exasperating with the pedestrian route, particularly when a client's
metal mapping is such that retracing ones steps is preferred. Creating a new
route to the starting point does not always result in just a reversal. A
go-around that I have used myself and have worked out with some travelers is
to name and save the route before getting to the destination.
The only tool that I am familiar with that will reserve a traveled route is
the new Trekker Breeze-- but the routes are recorded versus generated anew
for a particular destination.
Sandy

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Route closure?
Hi all,
I have a question for you about automatic and manual routes. When my
students reach their destinations in both automatic and manual routes, the
route closes before they can reverse the route. We have tried to anticipate
the BN saying "Route close(or closure)" and striking RR beforehand, but we
haven't always been fortunate with this.
Does anyone know why this is happening? And, what we should be doing to
avoid having the route close without saving it? I should add that we are
using mpowers, Holux Slimline 236, and ver.4.22 .
Thanks,
Catherine
