[gps-talkusers] Re: routes

Hi,

If the subway stop is your destination, your starting position should be
either your GPS position or a virtual position.

If you do not create a route the system has no way to tell you turning
information.  If you set a destination you will get the heading and
distance to the destination line of sight.
