Drive To / Drive Via

I have spent some time reading through the threads in the forums, but have not found anything which relates to what initially looks like an easy question.
When giving AI trains instructions in Driver Setup, at first glance there appears to be no difference as to whether you Drive to Trackmark and then the next and so on, or Drive Via Trackmark and then the next. But is there ??? For example if your train was travelling from A to C but had to go through B you have the option of :- Drive to Trackmark B, Drive to Trackmark C, or :- Drive Via Trackmark B, Drive Via Trackmark C, and so on. In essence do the different instructions make the train react differently when driving through a trackmark, as I am getting alot of unexplained slowing down and stoppages of my AI trains when they are nowhere near signals, points or other Trackside items. So I would like other opinions on this before I start reprogramming all of my trains

Thanks to all before hand Dave.

If you drive to something the train will attempt to stop and then follow the next command. If you drive via it will do the next command with out stopping. You may not notice the stop if the train is going at a fast rate of speed just a hesitation.
