Maps and re-entering

[Tevu]

Its a bit unclear to me what happens after you leave one area. If i leave with portal, does the area collapse behind me and i cant re-enter it anymore? Or does it reset?

When i leave area by driving to exit, does area reset or left like it was, partly looted?
Also, when i route plan, and get to the map, i can still drive somewhere else than i was planning, why?

The planning is more like a scan of the area so you're 100% sure of what's going down in the area, you're not necessarily tied to it, from what I've seen

Aah, that explains it. Youre right. No wonder why i can drive anywhere then.

The planning lets u use your antennas to discover the details of each location. It makes more sense when you unlock more than 1 antenna.
Then when you drive you can still choose any route to your destination.

what does the antenna upgrade actually do?

can you always only jump 1 point? like i can only jump to the very next point from the garage and then drive to the second?

That was my confusion, too. My second trip out was to continue the story mission, and it looked like it was one segment past another location, so I clicked *there* first -- wound up returning home when it was done. Ooops! :D

You're mixing up the route planner antenna and actually choosing the route when you reach the gateway.

The route planner is to tell you what's at a location. It lists of all the known anomalies and resources and any modifiers to the area.

Once you pass through the gate is when you actually pick where you want to drive, but if you pick a route different than the one you planned, you won't know what's at the location. Also you have to be careful of reaching a dead end.
