[gps-talkusers] Situation 14, inserting virtual waypoints in a Virtual route

Situation 14:
I have created a Virtual route and left out a couple intersections I want to 
add to the virtual route after I have saved it. Prior to GPS 3.5, I could do 
this because my Explore position and Virtual waypoints were independent. Now, 
when you load a virtual route and move through it, your Explore position moves 
with you so you can't add explore points as waypoints in the same way.

Question: How do I add a Virtual waypoint to a previously created Virtual route 
in 3.5?

Answer: First, before opening the Virtual route, explore to the intersection 
you want to add. Record a Point of Interest at that intersection. Record POIs 
at any other intersections you want to add to the route.

Now, open the Virtual route. Then move through the route until you have the 
waypoint highlighted before which you wish to add the new waypoint. Search for 
the intersection POI you wish to insert. Press R then K to copy that POI into 
the Virtual route. Repeat this step for any other points. Use the route editing 
commands if you need to rearrange any of these waypoints.

Of course, if you wanted to actually travel to the intersection you wished to 
add, you could do so in GPS mode by standing at the intersection and using 
Chord K to record the point in the route. 

Our thanks to Gil Lutz for posing this question while conducting training at 
the Seeing Eye.
