Hi, all:

The other day, I posted a question about what to call this sort of
navigational cue:

_Home_ >> _Link 1_ >> _Link 2_ >> You are here

I was thinking of calling it a "path" but was second guessing myself.

Three people wrote to say that they thought "path" was correct.

Another three suggested "route" (or "link route") as an alternative.

Other suggestions were:
- context links, orientation links, trace path
- locator

Thanks to Geoff Hart, Mario Ruggier, Geoff Lane, David Thompson, Debbie
Packer, Jan Stanley, Jillian Mcavoy, and Jason Willebeek-Lemair for their
input.

Your fan,
Jen V.
