[gps-talkusers] Re: traveling a route in virtual mode

Don,

You can move through the route with the Space T command just like you can in GPS mode. What you can't do is move your explore position from one turn to the next. That would be nice sometimes.

Hi all,

I thought I knew the gps program pretty well, but I must be missing something.

I live in Merced California and created a route to a business in Turlock which is some 20 plus miles away.

I want to look at the route prior to our using it in a few days.

I know you can do this with the w command to walk through the waypoints. But, what I really would like to do is be able to see the route with only the
turning points. It's a vehicular route of course, so the waypoints are okay but turning points really give you a better sense of the overall picture of the route.

Is there a way to go through the route in virtual mode and bypass all the extraneous waypoints?

I do see a command which will give you the next turning point from whatever waypoint you happen to be on in virtual mode, but you don't seem to actually
be able to "travel" it.

Thanks,

Don
