How to Use Navigation Point Rules
From TrainzOnline
The screenshots shown below give examples of the Navigation Point Rules.
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.
