Hi. I had a couple questions on the connexction to the receiver. I havethe hollux and this morning it sait it wasn't active, yet was clearly tracking everything i was doing and later when coming home, I couldn't get connected for anything ! Really irritating so my question is, do you have to go in to options in keysoft every time you want to connect and when just usiing the display as i tend to do, how in the world do you know when activesync is active becaudse it doesnt say active, but i think i saw the question mark by it go away and, do you just do the hot key to go from options in to navigation the spacre with n or do you go all they way back of of options bavck to the main menu then to gps . just wondering if i'm mising something. also, do people generallly walk outside then start the gps up or start it inside and is it better to ask it to connext and start moving or wait for it to connect firstsometimes it has worked for me and sohmetimes not, so hought i'd ask and tonight make suret he hollux has a full charge since i forgot last night although it wasn't on loong yesterday. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Grabowski" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,
You can use a feature called stationary mode.
1.  set up multiple repeat commands  such as intersection nearest
address etc.
2.  The default interval is every 12 seconds.  this will trigger the
commands every 12 seconds.
3.  in order to use stationary mode set your multiple repeat delay to
0.
This will only trigger multiple repeat commands when you stop moving.
This way you don't need to mess with the keyboard as you are walking.

There are lots of Built in one handed commands for the Braille
keyboards. IE next turn is backspace with dots 2-3.
Have fun.

Hi.  My plan is to mostly use the braille display for information
which.  I'm out, and
right now when I'm not using the display I just close the
case, but would that jar anything, interrupt
how the program works? What are other braille users doing? Also,
after your comfortable with the program, when
yo out walking, is it possible to check sreed, pois around you,
that stuff when your walking? my friend said she has to stop a
lot.  I'm a one handed user so may not need to, but wanted to
ask.
