I've had a Volkslogger for 6 years now and I really am pleased with
it. There is one feature that really does not work good for me,
setting the home point.

I like to set the home point every time I upload a new turnpoint
database. This is a nice backup to have handy if my PDA dies then I
can navigate home with the volkslogger.

After I upload the new TP file, then on the device I use the menus:

FAI/Edit/info/Home-Point [enter]

Search

Search works except the results seem completely random. Let's say I
uploaded 80 points and want to search for "01chil", If I input CHI as
the search term I get "ctssing" or some other turnpoint. I then need
to scroll through the results, apparently the results are all 80
turnpoints so it does not seem that the search narrowed the list any.

This is more a problem when I upload a turnpoint file of 400+ points,
I end up having to scroll through hundreds of points to get to the one
I want. [defeating the point of searching rather than some kind of
browsing/scrolling]. Also frustrating is not knowing if I should
scoll forward or back to get to the one I want. The one you want feels
like it is just a few in the other direction of the loop and you will
have to go all the way around.

What I really do not understand is WHY does it not find the turnpoint
name even when I use some of the letters in the turnpoint name? Is it
searching fields other than the name?

Does anyone have any suggestion on how to set the home point easier?

I upload with SeeYou. Maybe we need to nag SeeYou to add an interface
for this function.

Then after I do get the right point picked I've learned that I need to
declare a task so that it saves this homepoint otherwise the setting
is lost.

Thanks
Chris
