Hello Jim. The reply file is a great tool like Chris said because the GPS system thinks of it as an actual GPS connection. While using a replay file you can do the same things you can when you were there in real life. I've thought of just using a live replay file for the GPS tutorials because at least that way you don't have the other traffic and sounds around. <smile>.

I found out something interesting about replay files. I found that you can mark user POI's on a replay file which are added to your user poi file. I recently flew from Oakland to Portland and recorded a replay file of the trip. Today, I replayed that file and when we got a little more than a mile west of where I live, I marked the spot even though we were about 11000 feet above where the spot is on the map. The altitude does not appear as a coordinant in the user file, but it is cool to find out where the spot is anyway and to find that we can mark way points in replay files. I should have known that it was possible, but I had never tried it. Jim
