This looks very interesting. I wonder what is going on when I'm in virtual mode and gps says: cannot explore backwards. Why is this? I often make a wrong turn when exploring, and wish I could redo it or explore back to the point where I made the error. Karen and Harpo

for today's feature I will be discussing the actions menus.
After you search for a POI and find it, in previous versions You 
would
need to set it as your destination with SPACE with D or READ with 
D.

Then press R then V or R then P to create a route to it.  That
functionality has remained, but we have added three menus we call 
the
POI Actions Menu, Address Actions menu and the Lat/Lon Actions 
Menu.
You find your POI and press BACKSPACE with P or CONTROL with P. 
GPS

announces POI Actions menu, set or create: You have 6 choices.
1. Both Destination and virtual Position D This sets the POI as 
your

destination and virtual position.
2.  Destination only D:  you can set the POI as a destination
3.  Explore position only E:  This will set your virtual explore
position to the POI.
4. Pedestrian route P: This item will create a pedestrian route 
from

your current position to the POI
5. Show details S: This item will show you the POI details, 
same as

a SPACE with P or READ with P.
6. Vehicle route V: this item creates a vehicle route to from 
your

current position to the POI
If you will notice each item has a hot key displayed, You can 
press
that hot key in order to select the menu item. IE bring up the 
POI

Actions Menu then press E to set as your explore position.
We also have the address actions menu. This menu comes up when 
you do
an address lookup with space with S read with S. Fill out the 
same
information as before IE state, city, address number and street 
name

instead of define as"  you will hear Address actions menu, set or
create: You are presented with 6 items. 5 are identical to the 
POI
actions menu. Instead of Show details S you will find Create 
user POI

C.
When setting a lat/lon position you will see the address actions 
menu,
it is called lat/lon actions menu in that case, but all items are 
the

same.
Hope you have enjoyed this glimpse into what's to come in Sendero 
GPS
