Description of functions
Explore your environment
With Trekker, you can explore your outdoor environment and let the system announce the information as
you pass by. You can use Trekker in any environment where you travel on foot or by vehicle. After powering
ON and establishing GPS coverage, Trekker will automatically find your position in the street and tell you
where you are. As you walk by, the system announces and describes upcoming intersections and Points of
Interest.
Where Am I?
When online with satellites, you can access information on your current position. Trekker will announce the
following information:
Route Status informs you whether you are currently on route (if one is activated)
The direction you are heading (North, South, East, West, South West etc.)
The current estimated address number and street name
The name of the nearest Point of interest (POI) with direction, and associated text note (if any).
The nearest intersection, in front of you.
The next instruction, if a route is activated.
Points of Interest
Trekker provides information about POI that have been marked in the map area. The system provides
powerful features to find and view commercially available information such as restaurants, hospitals, schools
and train stations. Users can also create their own landmarks by means of the POI recording feature.
POI can be used as the origin or destination of a route or as a starting point to browse an area prior to
visiting.
Create and follow a route
Trekker allows you to create a precise travel route by entering a starting point and a destination point. You
can then travel the route in real-time or explore it virtually with the browsing feature. As you travel, Trekker
will announce streets and intersections you come across and will provide turn-by-turn instructions to reach
your destination. The system can create route for pedestrian or motorized use.
Preview before going somewhere
Browsing allows you to virtually explore an area on the map using the Navigation buttons. You can also
browse a route previously created. This features allows you to learn a route or explore a remote area
without having to be there.
