unobstructed view of the sky. Note that this step can take a few minutes the first time you use your
Trek’s Orientation mode. If GPS is already on in the settings menu, the connection will be
established in background before switching to Orientation mode.
9.4 Carrying the Trek
You should not use headphones when walking on the street.
In areas with heavy traffic or where the ambient noise makes it difficult to hear the internal speaker.
9.5 Explore
With the GPS device, you can explore your outdoor environment. Whether you are walking on a
street or in an open area (such as a park or a parking lot) or even traveling by vehicle, the GPS tool
will provide real-time information regarding your position and the direction in which you are heading.
Explore, step by step:
Power on Trek and select orientation using the online key.
The system will search for the satellites.
When ready, it will automatically provide information as you pass by.
When executing another function such as being guided through a route, you can always come back
to Explore by pressing the Explore button.
Information provided while exploring around:
Whether you are walking or traveling by vehicle, Trek will provide real-time information. Switching
from pedestrian to motorized travel is done automatically by evaluating the speed of travel. As the
speed of motorized travel does not allow the extent of spoken detail possible when walking, Trek
will adjust verbosity and mapping frequency to your mode of travel.
Address and Street: you will be informed of the street or area name where you are. When
traveling in open areas, you will also be provided with the name of the nearest street in front of
you, if it is not too far away.
When no name is provided for a specific street in the map database, the system will announce
"Junction".
Next intersection: The user will be informed when approaching an intersection. By default, when
on foot, the system informs you of the name of the crossing street and provides details on all ways
included. Trek announces first the type of intersection (2, 3, 4-way intersection or more), and the
current street name followed by the cross-street name. The intersection is broken down and each
segment composing the intersection is named in a clockwise manner. For example, while walking
on Main Street, you encounter a 3-way intersection where Fleet Street intersects with Main on your
left side only. Trek will announce the following message: "3-way intersection. Main street crossing
Fleet street on your left." When traveling in a vehicle, Trek will only announce the first crossing
street, starting from right to left. For both pedestrian and in-vehicle travels, Trek will emit a beep to
indicate when the intersection is detected.
If desired, the system can provide crossing street only.
Please consult the Settings section to obtain information on how to change the intersection
verbosity
Landmarks: The user will be informed when approaching within 10 meters of a landmark or point
of interest (if activated). It will be identified by name.
