Like I said, it does create an ant trail, but only one at a time, namely to your closest objective. So in essence, it actually does the identical thing as far as that feature is concerned to QH.
What happens in QH when you move closer to a diff objective than you were currently tracking? The priority changes and QH re routes you to the objective that is now the closest. Carbonite is identical to that, it just does not consume the additional resources necessary to plot everything at once and constantly update an ant trail leading between 25 different quests. It instead only does one at a time.
But, to each their own. I used QH for awhile, loved it at the time. Then I got my hands on Carbonite, love it even more and stayed with Carbonite for all the features it gave me
