Hello Armando,

Without more information I don't think anyone on this list can help.
What we need to know is what exactly does the system say once you reverse the route. Where are you physically when you reverse the route are you in GPS mode or in Virtual mode. If you are in GPS mode and lets say there are 10 waypoints in the route are you physically at Waypoint 10 when you reverse the route? What does the system say? Then when you start moving towards waypoint 9 what does the system say when you reach it? What does the system say when you press K for Current Waypoint (i.e the waypoint the system is trying to lead you to next.)

Also you said this is a manual route is all the waypoints straight or are some turns? Which mode are you in turns only or detailed (you can find out By pressing R then I for Route Information.)

Other questions we need to know is, is your route configuration set to Force sequential route following, and do you have auto increment waypoints on or off. Those settings you can also get with the Route Information command (R I)

Once we know what settings you have turned on or off and then what mode you are in GPS or Virtual and if you are in GPS mode where is your GPS actual location when you reverse the route, and what the system says exactly, can we help you figure out what the system is doing or what you need to do in order to fixed the problem.

I hope this is not overwhelming, this is part of the 3 hour phone training you get when you buy our system, I encourage you to take this training if you haven't already done so. Another option is to listen to the audio tutorial on Route creation / following and reading that section of the manual for helpful hints is another good idea.

Good luck.
Charles.

Hello Members,
For the last week or so, I have been having issues with my manual route, when reversing. I created the manual route, saved it, and reversed it and no success. The reading I get is that I'm a certain feet behind a path and I'm not getting accurate direction. I know the route I created, but just like another member, I'm very upset with the GPS. Any ideas as to why I get misreadings and am not succesful with the creation of manual routes? You're talking to an inexperienced braillenote user, so anything to do with saving or gps replay is foreign. Thanks.
Armando
