Hi. I MADE a pedestrian route this morning, but when I called to plan the bus trip, the route the bus gave me which actually makes more sense to me, was a completely different route. What is the best thing to do in this situation? Should I use the route my gps made and let it recalculate or should I go back and make a vihicular route? So far I have been making virtual routes just to get an idea of what I might do, but haven't kept any so far and actually worked with them in real time. I like the one the bus gave more, can I get the gps to agree with it? ----- 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.
