[Loadstone] announcing unwanted checkpoints.

[Monty Lilburn]

Hello Aedan,

I fully understand what you are saying and have run into this situation as 
well.  The problem we have with ignoring certain checkpoints  is the drift 
factor associated with the SIRF Star3 receivers.  This means the direction 
of travel isn't always precise and errors would happen.

One solution to this problem is to separate your various routes (or route 
segments)  into multiple checkpoint files.  With the appropriate one 
loaded and "Use Checkpoints" turned on, the problem as you describe should 
go away.

A future solution of having a "chain of points" functionshould also help 
with this as you say.

Thanks,
   Monty
