Joleen,
Yes, I know. I also can add the bus stops, too. My teacher will teach them
soon. Today I learned how to use the route to the destination. I will keep
to practice the way.

Hi Leslie.
I am not a GPS power user, but I think you could add information
about details of specific intersections or anything else by
creating way points. These would jog your memory about the
specific details of a given intersection configuration, traffic
patterns and availability of signals and even give indication of
accessible pedestrian signals with vibrotactile information
available for you. Of course, you could not do your whole city
or state, but you could mark places where you travel and expect
to go again. You can do this in virtual mode with your O and M
instructor in virtual mode without having to actually be at the
specific location, but the person helping you would have to be
very familiar with the details you would need to add. You could
mark spots several feet back from each corner so that you would
have time to process the information before reaching the corner
and you could give more specific information depending on the
path you are taking. I believe you would have to be in a route
to create way points. Perhaps you could create user POI's that
could include specific information as described above. That
would not require that you would be in a route. Let others who
are more knowledgable expand on this idea.
