Morning all,
I am having a proglem, and I hope that you all can help me. I'll try
to explain what's happening, but I may be unclear. If I am, ask
questions, or you can write me off-list.
Here is my problem. In my neighborhood there is a set of streats that
are in an oval with streets coming off them like spokes of a wheel.
This route is about two miles in length, and I have been trying and
trying to record this route so that I can walk it again. Let me
explain what has happened.
The first time I tried recording this route with a friend, the BN
locked up in the middle, and we had to discard the recording because
it was trunkated.
Last Friday we tried again. Now, I have been using space with K to
mark all the intersections and so on, thinking that the BN would not
place these in automatically. I hope this is right?
Also, I made a mistake in the middle of the route. I was so anxious
about saving the blessed thing that I saved it in the middle, and it
told me that I was at my destination. Then, it resumed recording and
whenever I put in a waypoint, it kept saying press enter for waypoint
3. <sigh> I loused it up some way, I don't know how!
When I returned home and reran the route, all the waypoints were all
katty-wampus, they were all mixed up and jumbled and out of sync. I
don't know what I did. I don't know if I was supposed to just record
the route and leave the BN to put in waypoints, or if I shouldn't have
saved it in the middle. I'm totally discouraged. This two mile route
was supposed to be my exercise walk, my reason for having the BN. I
want to walk. I want to lose weight, but this BN and the GPS has me
totally frustrated. How do you record routes and what are you
supposed to do. How do you record a circular route so that it comes
back to the beginning and has the waypoints in order? Help!
Ann P.
