9.13 Haptic Feedback
Haptic feedback on the Trek is a system that helps you navigate through vibration signals. When
turned on and following a route, Trek will give you vibratory indications in addition to the standard
vocal instructions.
The vibration signals have the following meaning:
3 short vibrations: Turn right
2 long vibrations: Turn left
1 long vibration: Go straight ahead
2 short vibrations and 2 long vibrations: Off route
When in Explore mode, you will feel one long vibration when receiving information about an
upcoming intersection.
9.14 Locking/Unlocking Open Area
If you are walking in a park, university campus, or doing outdoor hiking, Trek can ensure you
remain in open area without automatically placing you on a nearby street. To do so, simply press
and hold the Right arrow. You will hear a beep sound and Trek will announce “Entering open
area locked”. If a route is activated, deactivate it first by pressing the Explore button before
locking open area.
In open area locked mode, you can be guided as the crow flies towards any personal point of
interest or landmark, whether your destination has been created on the road network or in an
open area.
To leave open area locked, press and hold the Right arrow again. Trek will announce “Leaving
open area locked” and will automatically recognize whether you are in an open area or on a
street.
