guided and Next intersection if you are not guided. When traveling by vehicle, the Trek will also
provide the city name. Please consult the Where am I Verbosity Settings section for additional
information.
Note: If you are less than 10 meters (30 feet) away from any intersection, you are considered to
be in a transitory zone. In this zone, the system does not provide a description of the next
intersection because the user is not already engaged on the upcoming street.
