It's funny no one has even attempted to answer your question, so I will try. I'm no expert with DCC, but do have some experience, as I am using DCC to control my layout. Yes, route control (also called map routing) is the ability to control your layout with computer programming. It may be accomplished in other ways for DC, but since you asked about DCC, we'll stick to that. Map routing includes the ability to control turnouts, signals and other items, (such as reversing units) through computer programs. Basically, in an ideal world of map routing, one would be able to just sit back and watch trains run a pre programmed route. Somewhat boring to some, but it does have it's advantages. And it's kinda cool, too. I hope my ameature explanation is enough. [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Green Bay Paddlers The recent MR does a great job of charting out the different characteristics of various DCC systems. One field in the chart is labeled "route control." However, I can't seem to find the section of the article that discusses this. Can anyone explain what "route control" is? Is that the ability to control turnouts via DCC on your layout? [/quote]
