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.

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.



Chris

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?
