Note that it is possible to cancel the recording of a landmark by pressing the
* (star)
key.
The recorded landmarks are kept in the list of possible destinations.
Important:
Before recording landmarks, press the
Where am I
button to make sure that the Trek
has properly located your position. If the landmark is meant to be situated at an address, make
sure the Trek recognizes the location as a position on that Street (and not an open area).
Similarly, if the intended Landmark is meant to be in an open area, make sure Trek does not
recognize the location as being linked to streets.

Routes
The system provides the user with an opportunity to record a route while walking it a first time.
This way it is possible to select the most secure or preferred path. The created route can be
named and retraced to be used at a later moment. Please note that recorded routes are not
available when traveling by vehicle. The Online button is also temporarily disabled when following
a route.

Recording a Route
To create a route:
1. Press and hold the Bookmark or
Record
button and press
Confirm
to start creating a
route. The system will ask you to dictate a route name.
2. After the beep, you will have 4 seconds to describe the route. You may find helpful to
name the route by its origin and destination. For example, Home to pharmacy.
3. When the system has confirmed that you are creating a route, navigate the entire course
of the route. Trek will emit a beep every 60 seconds to indicate the recording of the route.
If GPS coverage is lost along the way, a message will inform you and beeping will stop.
When GPS coverage is found again, beeping resumes.
4. Note that you can create landmarks along the way. To do so, press the
Record
button.
After the beep, you will have 4 seconds to provide a vocal description of the landmark. A
double beep will indicate the end of the landmark creation, at which point you can
continue your route.
5. When you have reached your destination, press and hold the
Record
button until you
hear the beep, to inform the system that the destination has been reached. The beeping
stops and a message informs you that Route recording has ended.
Note that it is possible to cancel the recording of a route by pressing the
* (star)
key.
Note: On occasion when creating a route, the system will announce the wrong intersection. This
occurs when parallel streets are close to each other. If you know that the current intersection
announced is wrong, press the
Confirm
button. You will be asked if you wish to delete this
intersection from your route. Press
Confirm
again to delete the intersection. The system will fill in
the gap to complete the route.
Important: You cannot record routes when in a vehicle. If you enter a vehicle during the route
creation, please note that that your route may not be valid. Please preview before using this
route. If you create a route while in a vehicle, the Trek will return to pedestrian mode and will
announce "Warning, this route will be created for pedestrian travel."

Indoor Preview of a route
Trek allows you to preview a route before navigating it. This gives you a chance to learn the route
instructions ahead of time. Indoor preview will provide you with detailed intersection information
and turn instructions.
To preview a route indoors without being interrupted by GPS information:
