Hello Hope and Chris
An excellent explanation, Chris. I too was worried about whether
or not the replay would work in a difficult area. I have just
come back from walking a route with my son that I recorded as a
replay. For good measure I added some annotations at points like
shelters or benches, but deliberately left some turning points
blank just to see how it came out when I created a route from the
replay. I listened in real time to the replay (while relaxing
with a hot coffee after getting in from the cold), and it's nice
to hear the annotations (with their boyng sound) along the way;
any turns without annotations are, as Chris said, announced as
turns.
I then created the route. Absolutely perfect, and, assuming you
walk the same route back, you can just reverse the route to save
you having to do it all over again.
I was surprised by the accuracy of the tracking, and it's very
easy to edit the waypoints later.
I think summing up I would say:
In creating a manual route you have to enter each waypoint
yourself along the route, whereas in a replay file you can just
walk the route, saving time (unless you want to add notes at some
points while recording the route).
I'm very impressed.
Dennis.

Hi Hope,
to answer your question.
If you walk the trip once while recording the replay, the system
knows
that you made a turn. When you create the route from that replay
you
just recorded the system says oh ok, at this position she turned
right. we need to drop the right turn there.
If the replay does not go along streets the points will be
automatically numbered for you. IE turn right at waypoint 6.
Once the route is created you can go in and rename/delete any
waypoints you wish.
Some people may find it easier to create the route from the
replay
then creating the route in real time while walking worrying about
traffic their dog/Cain etc.

Ok. I'm trying to understand the replay feature as well, and
have a couple of questions. Chris, you said that, while creating
a route replay, you don't need to worry about adding waypoints.
I think this is extremely useful, but say for example, I was
creating a route from one building to another on my college
campus. IfI just walked the route, made the turns, etc, wouldn't
I need to stop and name the waypoints even in replay? If I didn't
and if they're not on the map, how would the system know what to
name them?
Sorry, but just trying to understand this feature to the fullest.
Hope and Beignet

Hi,
Technically there's no difference between a manual route and a
route
created from a replay file.
The main thing to remember is you walk the replay once then you
tell
the system to create a route from the replay. You need not worry
about stopping to add the waypoints in. Annotations are
something you
can add in if you wish but they are not essential.
When the route is created from the replay the route goes where
you go.
if you are traveling across a field or in the woods neither the
replay or the route created from the replay care, they go where
you
go.
Hope this helps.

Sorry if I'm being a little dense here, but what's the technical
difference then between a route created from a replay (that you
record as you go along with possible annotations which turn into
waypoints) and a manual route (that you create by adding
waypoints as you go along)? Is there an advantage of one over the
other, or is it a case of how the route is tracked when followed?
I ask because part of my regular route from home has to avoid
what the automatic route creator thinks I should do (due to poor
mapping and a road that's now impassible for me due to erosion).
I'd like to be able to bypass this without having to edit my
routes. Not an absolute essential, it's just annoying to hear
wrong information every time.
So in my situation would a route created from a replay be better?
Dennis.

Annotations can be written to GPS Replays by using SPACE with W
on the BT and READ with W on the QT. Basically, a GPS Replay
must be recording, annotations can be anything including a note
about a park bench with a limit of 200 characters, when running a
GPS Replay these annotations will be played back indicating its
annotation with a message stating so and a sound and when a GPS
Replay is made into a route that contains annotatios those
annotations will be included as waypoints.

Another option would be a GPS Replay with annotations. Then
that GPS Replay
can be made into a route complete with turns, waypoints and
annotations.

Thank you, Chris for answer my question.
Replay was my first time experience. But it is NOT my
preferance. I do not
like the true time.
Do you have another suggestion relate to the bus route with POI?
