Record a Point of Interest (POI)

Trekker allows you to mark any location as a personal point of interest. 

 To create a personal POI, you need to be in an open-air area and 

online.

1. Press the Record button.
2. After the beep, dictate a short audio message. The recording option 

will stop automatically after 4 seconds. After 2 beeps, you should hear 
the messages, "Recording stopped", and "POI created". 

Switching navigation modes

Trekker automatically provides the available information in Pedestrian 
mode. 

 If you walk into an area such as a park where no streets are available, 

the system will automatically switch to Free mode. 

 To use Trekker in a vehicle, toggle between the Pedestrian Mode and 

Motorized mode by Pressing and Holding the Home button. 

 To navigate virtually a map, switch to Browsing mode by pressing and 

holding the End button to toggle ON or OFF.

Navigation modes are also available from the Trekker Application 
menu. To learn your current Navigation mode, press Shift+F3.
