9.7 Record Landmarks
Users can create landmarks any time along their outdoor environment. These act as reference
points or markers and will be detected when the user comes across them. It is highly
recommended to mark any meaningful point in your surrounding that can act as a guiding
element, an obstacle along the way or a possible destination.
To record a landmark:
1. Press the Record or the Bookmark button.
2. After the beep, provide a 4 second description of the landmark. A double beep will
indicate the end of the landmark creation. The description and location of the landmark
will be saved by the system.
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.
9.8 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.
9.8.1 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.
