How to Use Navigation Point Rules
From TrainzOnline
The screenshots shown below give examples of the Navigation Point Rules.
Example 1: Navigation Display Rule
The Navigation Display Rule settings shown in this example will direct TANE to create a set of Navigation Points. Multiple sets can be created by adding additional copies of this rule. This rule creates the navigation set, it does not display it.
A navigation set must be created before it can be used by the other navigation rules.
