I know exactly what you mean. When we were in Hawaii 2 years ago I sat in the back seat and read all the p. o. i.(s) and `saw` Hawaii my own way. Sighted people in general just can't fathome that we simply do not know unless someone tells us that these things are out there. I don't know if this is true, but I would imagine that sighted people get bombarded with so much information, that they have to find a way to switch some of it off.

Carol this is exactly what I did to get familiar with using the

GPS.

The best thing to do is to have the system set to automatically

recalculate

the route, with this option turned on after the route has been

deviated from

to a prescribed degree the software will simply go away and

recalculate and

tell you it's doing that. To enable me to see the most amount of useful information I also

turn

waypoint numbering off when using the system in a car.

Hope all this helps, have an enjoyable trip there is something

great about

just sitting watching stuff go by which previously you may have

been

completely unaware of, it's a bit like looking out of the window

I guess and

has completely changed what I do when travelling by car!

Hi all,

I'm going on my first long travel with the GPS on Monday and

intend to get

my route and watch alongside my driver but, because of my lack

of total

skill right now, I'll leave her to make her own decisions. What

I want is

some feedback on what I do when she changes the route from mine

or how I

might choose her route.

Thanks for any pointers on this.
