English term or phrase: snap to road
Hola, ¿alguien me puede explicar a que se refiere este término? No he utilizado nunca un GPS y, aunque he encontrado alguna cosilla en Google, sigo sin entender a qué se refiere exactamente.

Gracias!

Mantener posición en vía (Bloqueo a la vía)
Explanation:
Snap to Road (a.k.a. as Lock to Road)
This is a feature used by all high-end navigation systems to ensure that your position is shown on a road and not a few millimeters next to it, something that most people would consider distracting. The downside to this is that when reception is bad, your GPS position can be too erroneous to enable the program to interpret it correctly and as a result it might get confused and "snap" you to the wrong road and re-route you. I've seen this happen with Destinator (in NMEA mode) but also with Garmin's GPS V standalone unit.
Still this is a feature that's desirable. AFAIK only two programs currently do not implement it, Teletype and Mapopolis
