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 |
