Address and Street: you will be informed of the street or area name where you are. When traveling
in open areas, you will also be provided with the name of the nearest street in front of you, as it
gets closer.
When no name is provided for a specific street in the map database, the StellarTrek will announce
‘Street with no name’, ‘Junction’ or ‘Ramp’.
Next intersection: The user will be informed when approaching an intersection. When in pedestrian
travel, the StellarTrek informs you of the name of the crossing street and provides details on all
ways included. The StellarTrek announces first the type of intersection (2, 3, 4-way intersection or
more), and the current street name followed by the cross-street name. The intersection is broken
down and each segment composing the intersection is named in a clockwise manner. For example,
while walking on Main Street, you encounter a 3-way intersection where Fleet Street intersects with
Main on your left side only. The StellarTrek will announce the following message: “3-way
intersection. Main Street crossing Fleet Street on your left.” When traveling in a vehicle, the
StellarTrek will only announce the first crossing street, starting from right to left. For pedestrian
travels, the StellarTrek will emit a beep to indicate when the intersection is detected.
Landmarks: The user will be informed when approaching within 10 meters of a landmark or point
of interest (if activated). It will be identified by name.
