It is also possible to update or install new maps on your device. Please refer to section 2.5 of this
user guide.
3.1.2 Landmarks
Landmarks are particular locations along your travel paths that merit to be marked as reference
points (the mailbox at the corner of the street where you have to turn), places to avoid (potted plant
on the sidewalk) or a location you go to (grocery store). Upon creating a landmark, you will need to
assign a name. You may create vocal recording for any number of landmarks. Note that you can
rename any landmark at a further moment. A landmark will be announced as the user passes near
it, whether on foot or by vehicle.
Places that you consider as possible destinations in your usual travel, such as your home, a friend’s
place, your pharmacy, or preferred restaurant, can be set as landmarks. Upon doing so, you can
ask the StellarTrek to provide guidance instructions from your current position to the selected
landmark.
3.1.3 Points of Interest
Points of Interest are commercially available information such as restaurants, hospitals, banks,
train stations included with the Maps. This information is handled jointly with the Maps already
included in your device. Note that Points of interest are not automatically announced during
motorized travels. Only landmarks are reported.
3.1.4 Distance Units
It is possible to change the distance units in which you wish to navigate. To do so, go to the Settings
menu by pressing and holding the Down arrow. Then, use the Left and Right arrows until you
reach the item System and press Confirm. In the System submenu, use the Left and Right arrows
until you reach the item Regional Settings and press Confirm.
In the Regional Settings submenu, use the Left and Right arrows until you reach the item Distance
Units and press Confirm.
Use the Left and Right arrows to cycle through the options and press Confirm to make your
selection. The Distance unit settings are as follows:
• Kilometers and meters
• Miles and feet
• Miles and yards
3.2 Using the GPS
By default, the StellarTrek is in explore mode. Upon turning on the device, the connection is
established, and the StellarTrek will announce your current position and attempt to find street
names and landmarks. Your StellarTrek is ready to use. If a connection cannot be established or if
it is lost along the way, move to a different location with an unobstructed view of the sky. Note that
this step can take a few minutes the first time you use your StellarTrek.
3.2.1 Refresh Positioning
Occasionally, the StellarTrek will not be able to properly situate the user. For example, this may
happen in an environment surrounded by high buildings or dense trees. In situations such as these,
it can be useful to reset your GPS position for a more accurate navigation.
