Hope,
There is a way of editing that Route Waypoint and changing the designation
from a straight to a turning point in your route. The easiest way of doing
this is
to erase the Route Waypoint and to go back to the spot and remarking it in
GPS mode, the trick is making sure that it goes in the proper location. But,
let us asume that you are not at the location and you want to make the
modification in the comfort of your own home.
1. Make sure you are in virtual mode and have Route following mode set to
detailed
2. Open the route that you created, navigate Waypoint by Waypoint to the POI
that you want to change from a straight to a right turn.
3. Erase that Route Waypoint, then remark the Route Waypoint by doing a
SPACE/READ with K, enter the Route Waypoint name, direction, description if
any. The
heading should be based from the direction you were facing before and when
you got to the sidewalk.
4. I have done this with a number of Routes where I goofed on a single turn
and wanted to make the modification while I was thinking about it rather
than
trekking out to that exact location and remarking it.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] question about editing waypoints
Hi all. Ok. So today was the real tesat of the sendero's gps. I went to
the university to try and plan some routes. The first route I totally messed
up on a waypoint. Ok. Let me see if i can describe it. I go straight on a
road (as if I'm crossing a road) and step up onto a sidewalk. I marked the
sidewalk
as a waypoint (and I was supposed to turn right). Well, like an idiot, I
didn't specify the direction I was supposed to turn. Now that the route is
saved,
(there were many more waypoints which I did correctly), can I edit this
waypoint to make my turn? Here's the weird thing, though. If I am in virtual
mode,
and follow my route and keep pressing heading, before I hit the sidwalk it
says I"m going wst. After I hit the sidewalk, it says I'm going north (which
means a right turn). Is there a way to get that sound though (the audio file
Charles made "turn right) by editing the waypoint? I've tried the edit mode
but it only lets me rename, erase, make waypoint a poi, etc. If someone can
give me a suggestio id' graetly appreciate it. Sorry for the nonsense. Just
got back from hawaii and am feeling really jet lagged.
Hope and Beignet
