Wayfinder etc.Tim,
If you depart from your route Wayfinder will re calculate your route if you
have set the option 'automatically re cal culate route' to on. There would
not be a lot of use to a navigation system that couldn't cope with going of
track. I don't know about future versions of these products but I still use
Ver. 5 of Wayfinder which works fine with the current version of Talks. There
a couple of snags with Ver 6 but, even when these are sorted out, I don't think
Ver. 6 has much more to offer than 5. Mainly there is some differences in the
way you work through the menus and options. Would be interested in what others
think.
HTH

Hi All,
I've been thinking about purchasing Wayfinder but have been somewhat
discouraged by the discussions of problems with version 6. I re-read Stuart
Foster's article in Access-IT magazine a couple of days ago, and came across a
point in it which I thought possibly reduced the value of Wayfinder to me.
This was the fact that when you accidentally depart from the route you're
supposed to be following, Wayfinder doesn't automatically re-calculate the
route from your new position, meaning presumably that if you don't know where
you went wrong, you need to set up a new route from your new position to your
destination.
I'd be interested if any Wayfinder users can confirm this functionality, and
give views as to whether this is a severe limitation.
Also, does anyone have additional info about whether up-coming versions of
Talks or Wayfinder are likely to sort out the problems people have been having
with Wayfinder 6 and Talks.
Many Thanks,
Tim Pennick
