Hi Alan,
Thanks for your help. That makes sense!
In other words, I could be in virtual mode, and see my points of interest
without following a route, however, I won't see the way points. Correct!

Hi Kathleen,
The biggest difference between a point of interest and a way point is
that a way point is a part of a recorded route, which is not accessible
unless you're using that route. A POI, on the other hand, is a
potential destination that might be pointed out to you by the GPS
program from any part of the GPS program.
For example, you might set a waypoint as a bend in a trail or street,
but there's nothing else out of the ordinary about that spot. If you
had a friend whose house was at that bend, you might record it as a POI
labeled as "Mrs. Smith's house" or whatever.
HTH
Alan

Subject: [Braillenote] WAY POINT AND POINT OF INTEREST
Hi GPS 2 Users,
I want to know if there is a difference between a way point and a point
of
interest.
I have heard it explained that a way point is an electronic bread crumb;
however, cannot a point of interest be thought of in the same manner? I
also know that many points of interest are already recorded for us; and
I
know that I can have a user point of interest file containing my points
of
interest.
But, could not I also call my user point of interests my way points? Is
a way point usually considered to be a street name; where as a point of
interest is considered to be a restaurant, a park, ETC.
Hoping someone can clear up my confusion.
