Thanks. Last night I checked out the vihicle route to that address and it agreed with the bus so haven't decided what I'd go with going to that location, but thanks for telling me how to do it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Chao" <kevinchao89@xxxxxxxxx>

It is possible to make a route that will agree with the route provided by
the bus company with a bit of a vwork-around. It is a bit more involved and
requires a fair amount of mental mapping. You will want to ensure that you
are in Virtual Mode, Open a Manual Route, Make Route Waypoints for the
beginning/end of route and all turning/significant points along the route.
Fill in all details for each Route Waypoint.

Hi. I MADE a pedestrian route this morning, but when I called to plan the
bus trip, the route the bus gave me which actually makes more sense to me,
was a completely different route. What is the best thing to do in this
situation? Should I use the route my gps made and let it recalculate or
should I go back and make a vihicular route? So far I have been making
virtual routes just to get an idea of what I might do, but haven't kept any
so far and actually worked with them in real time. I like the one the bus
gave more, can I get the gps to agree with it?

Hi,
You can use a feature called stationary mode.
1.  set up multiple repeat commands  such as intersection nearest
address etc.
2.  The default interval is every 12 seconds.  this will trigger the
commands every 12 seconds.
3.  in order to use stationary mode set your multiple repeat delay to
0.
This will only trigger multiple repeat commands when you stop moving.
This way you don't need to mess with the keyboard as you are walking.

There are lots of Built in one handed commands for the Braille
keyboards. IE next turn is backspace with dots 2-3.
Have fun.
Chris

close the case, but would that jar anything, interrupt how the program

comfortable with the program, when yo out walking, is it possible to
check sreed, pois around you, that stuff when your walking? my friend
said she has to stop a lot.  I'm a one handed user so may not need to,
but wanted to ask.
