[gps-talkusers] Re: using gps on trains

Hi Andrew, 

that's right, you will just get an alert when your approaching the destination, 
but nothing else. It's great when reading a book while travelling, because you 
don't get any interruptions until you reach your destination. I always set it 
one stop prior to the one I need, so I have some time to save my position in 
the book and put my headphones away etc.

Cheers,
Brett.

  just to clarify, when you don't create a route and just set the destination, 
if you don't have look around mode on and don't check the distance to the 
destination, the gps will remain silent until you reach the destination?

    Hi,

    The getting warmer function has always been there, but although you can, I 
don't use Getting warmer on trains, I just plot the destination and use the 
don't create a route option.This way MGeo does not talk, it will just sound an 
alert when I reach the destination. Of course, I can always manually query the 
distance to destination when ever I want.

    Cheers,
    Brett.

      is that like setting a User poyas a destination and then using the 
getting warmer function? 
      I thought that the getting warmer function on the Mobile GEO was not 
included in the 1.5 upgrade.

      HI Andrew

      I do the same asasteve

      set my destination and then listen to what I am going by as it comes up I 
check distance to destination and it gives me an idea of how long we have to go 
if I am not on a familiar route, today I have been up to London and it allowed 
me to get myself and dog ready in perfect timing to get off the train, often I 
am ready to far in advance if I have not used the GPS as I do not want to be 
caught out by not being ready.
