Hi Carol. Firstly, to answer your questions:Changing routing options only changes the way by which routes are calculated, the GPS receiver is responsible for fixing your position and it will be this and this alone that will determine the accuracy of the instructions when your given them at the appropriate moments. Secondly, if you want to save a favorite, go to the location in question IE the bus stop, shop etc, then add the favorite using the procedure outlined in the user guide. This will then store that favorite for quick routing. Remember however that GPS is not an exact technology, so you may be a meter or two away from your objective when navigating to your favorite.
There is a wayfinder access discussion list, you can join through its website www.wfusers.com. There, I and like minded wayfinder enthusiasts will be more than happy to help you with your questions.

Hi all, As a newby to WayFinder, I have three questions. The first relates to changing settings between pedestrian and car travel. Does the change of transport mode give more accurate readings in terms ofspeed and timing, or is this just a change so that the vehiclular routes canbe worked out according to the roads to travel? The second question is around saving favourites, or POIS. Can I save a favourite bus stop, so be standing at a given place, without knowing itspostcode or exact co-ordinates myself? If so, how is this achieved, please?Finally, as I noticed someone else asking, I would just also like to know ifthere is a specific list for WayFinder questions? I know this list is really Talks related, and I don't want to upset my moderator friend but don't know where else to ask. Thanks for any and all help. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a
