Other navigation options are available in the Settings menu. You can set the alert radius in “2-Alert radius”
– this calibrates how long before a change of direction you wish to be informed by your GPS (e.g. 20 or 25
meters before intersections). Use the Up and Down arrows to change this parameter.
You can also change the repetition interval of the “Current Location”/”Where am I” function in “3-Current
Location refresh frequency”.
Finally, it is possible to activate the numbering function in “4-Numbering”. This experimental function
indicates which numbers (odd or even) are on your right side, at the end of the “Current Location”
information.

Calendar/Agenda
The Calendar/Agenda application enables you to easily manage your schedule.
To open the Calendar application, select from the Home Screen “5- Utilities” then “3- Calendar”/”Agenda”.
The main screen presents the list of all the events of your calendar by chronological order with the events
of the day on the first line.
By pressing the Up arrow, you can scroll up to the older events and with the Down arrow, scroll down to
future events. To move more rapidly in time, use keys 4 and 7 to move day by day, 5 and 8 to move week
by week, and 6 and 9 to move month by month. Select the event of your choice, then press OK to read its
detailed content.
To create a new event, press the Menu key from the main screen of the application and select “1- New
event”. The event creation form then shows the following fields: event title, from date, from time, until
date, until time. By pressing the Menu key, you can also choose to add a description, a location and a
reminder.
The Reminder field enables you to setup a ringtone in order to remind you the event so that you never miss
an appointment again. You can select how long before the event you would like the phone to activate the
reminder.
As we will see in chapter 14, you can synchronise your Google account with
your phone
. If you use Google
Calendar on your computer, all your events and calendars will automatically be synchronized with your
phone
and will appear in the Calendar application.
Please note that recurring events are not yet handled by this first version of the application (neither in read
nor write mode).
