What I would do in this case, where I will be riding the bus and then
walking to my destination is the following:
Bus: I will just have LookAround turned on announcing intersections when
the
bus has stopped, the new streets and directionality, current city, current
state/province and POIs. This will allow me to build up a mental map of
the
area and become familiar with the route and street names and cities that
the
bus may pass through and locations of interest. I will also havve my
Destination set to the intersection where I will be getting off and will
tap
the D key every so often to keep tabs on where I am wanting to get off.
Foot: I will still have LookAround turned on but will also create a
Pedestrian Route so I can havve information about my surrounding as well
as
have turn-by-turn directions to my destination.
Thanks,
Kevin

receiver
Hi Tina,
one thing you'll need to keep in mind is this.
every time you do any kind of reset you will need to go and
reactivate the receiver.
1. from the options menu press C for connectivity.
2. press B for Bluetooth.
3. make sure the Bluetooth is set to on.
4. at the search for devices prompt answer no. remember to answer no,
answering yes at this point can confuse the Braillenote.
5. space down to your holux and press enter.
6. space to active synk and press enter.
7. Press A to activate the active sync.
You should be back in the list of bluetooth devices.
If the word active is not there, you will need to press enter again
and remove the paring this time. I've seen people need to remove the
paring two times before the word paird is gone.
Once the word pared is gone press enter on the receiver name, then
enter again on active sync.
You will be asked pare with and activate? Answer yes.
For the authentication code just press enter.
To answer your question about going into options connectivity every
time, I never do I always leave my bluetooth on.
So here are the steps I do.
1. turn on the receiver.
2. turn on the BrailleNote.
3. wait 15 to 20 seconds.
4. press n for navigation.
providing the system is pared and active you should be connected to
the receiver.
Hope this helps.

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.

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.
