Hello, Sarai,
Read Alex Haley's Book of Routes. It will help you to understand. I wish I
could find it myself. A friend told me that is what I should read.

Chord G sets your Virtual position as your GPS position. After exploring, switch back to GPS mode and press Chord N to ensure your GPS position is nearest your route position assuming you had a route open. This will probably happen automatically.
