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.
Chris
