Yes, I sometimes get hopelessly lost and just have to reset my virtual position from scratch. It's at such times that I'd love to store a few positions to flit to very quickly ...

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.

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 wecall 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 5.0Chris Grabowski - Customer Support and Product testing Sendero Group "The GPS company."
