Re: Creating a point in Ariadne GPS

Hello Robin,

Try this.

• Tap the Where am I button.
• Tap Add to favourites.
• Swipe right on the new screen to Description and enter the name of the 
favourite.
• Swipe left to Save and tap it.

That works for me.

Cheers,

Anne

 Thanks for that but it’s after clicking on that that I get stuck. Can you 
 talk me through every step as it just seems to want either streetname or 
 postcode etc and there’s no button for ‘Use current location’ as far as I can 
 see. If I leave those fields blank and click Save then the distance to that 
 favourite is over 3000 miles so probably not saved correctly

 I really like the tennis ball idea too, though. If I don’t crack this I’ll 
 try that.
  
 Cheers, Robin.

Re: Creating a point in Ariadne GPS

2013-08-30 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Robin,

The Add to favourites button is to the right of Start monitoring at the top of 
the screen.

Good luck with Archie! That's the name of my husband, by the way.

I, too, have a new guide dog by the name of Galda and we're learning to find my 
usual places, too. A hidden tennis ball at the place I don't want to miss works 
well with her.

Cheers,

Anne

 Dear listers
  
 I’ve got a shiny new guide dog (Archie, german shepherd, in case you’re 
 wondering) and there’s a bridge in a park I used to hit every time with Tenby 
 but could do with some help on with Archie. I have several GPS apps (not 
 Blindsquare for info) and of the ones I’ve got I believe that it’s only 
 Ariadne GPS and My Way Lite that allow you to create a point and then 
 navigate to it. My Way Lite seems about as counterintuitive as an app could 
 possibly be so, unless someone can give me a swift brain transplant, I’ll 
 pass on that one. On Ariadne GPS I’ve created points in the past as I can see 
 them in there – but again I think I’m probably a candidate for a regular dose 
 of Omega 3 as I’ll be blowed if I can find out how to create one now. I’ve 
 been through it several times and can’t see how to create a point at the 
 point where I’m standing and give it a name etc.
  
 So please can a clever clogs out there give me step by step?
  
 Oh, and by the way, when I say “Hit it every time” I mean in the way one 
 would want to hit a destination and not in the way one would want to hit, 
 say, a fellow Sumo wrestler.
  
 Thanks, Robin.
