[gps-talkusers] Re: Situation 6, forcing a particular route calculation

You can recalculate a route at any time but it doesn't happen 
automatically.  The Braillenote is already overtaxed as it is, and then 
trying to automatically calculate a new route would be a step 
backwards.  But you can manually create a new route just type "R" then "P" 
and it will tell you that you already have a route open do you want to save 
it, say "No" then it will create a new route based on your current position 
to the routes destination.  But again it is calculating the "Shortest" 
route total distance when it determines the best route to take (for 
pedestrian routes).  For vehicles routes it calculates the fastest route to 
the destination.
