3.11.3 Using Map Browsing Mode
Once you enter Map Browsing mode, the StellarTrek will automatically orient you facing the North
or East, depending on the direction of the road. The StellarTrek will tell you your current Street
name and heading. You can navigate the map by:
Pressing the Up arrow to move you forward to the next street segment. If you reach an intersection,
its type (i.e. 3-way, 4-way, 5-way, etc.) and the cross-street or streets will be announced.
Pressing and holding the Up arrow will move you forward to the next street segment and announce
any Points of Interest on that segment. You can check all points of interests by pressing the Left
and Right arrows. If there were items as points of interests, you will need to press the Back button
to get back to the map and continue browsing.
At an intersection, you can press the Left and Right arrows to scan across the intersection. For
example, when you reach an intersection and press the Left arrow, you will be oriented towards
the first segment on the left, and pressing the Right arrow will rotate you clockwise until you reach
the last segment, at which point the StellarTrek will emit a beep. You can always press the Left
arrow to rotate counter-clockwise. When you hear the segment you wish to continue exploring,
press the Up arrow to move forward, or press and hold the Up arrow to move forward and have
points of interest announced. If you wish to turn back around, press the Down arrow as described
above.
Press Where Am I to get current heading, nearest location, and nearest intersection.
