> Street Name
> 
> The Street Name option displays the street on which the user is currently

> street. Inaccurate signals may make it announce the cross street either 
> before or after you enter or leave the street crossing.
> 
> To constantly update your street address while walking, turn on both the 
> Street Number and Street Name items. As you walk, Nearby Explorer announces 
> the street address but not the street name (because the street name is not 
> changing). With both options selected, when you approach and pass a cross 
> street, the app announces the name of the street and the closest house number 
> on that street. Often, Nearby Explorer announces an address from each side of 
> the cross street as you pass it. The first is the closest house number on the 
> side of the street on which you are traveling. As you cross, the app 
> announces the second number, which is the closest house number on the far 
> side of the street.
> 
> As you turn onto another street, Nearby Explorer announces the name of that 
> street as soon as it recognizes the new coordinates. This usually occurs 
> within a few seconds of the turn.
> 
> The street number and name announcements are two of the best ways to obtain 
> the most detailed information about your location. When combined with a 
> Nearby Places address, which is also approximated, you can easily determine 
> on which side of the street you are traveling and on which side the desired 
> destination is located.
> 
> Note: Poor GPS reception can result in misinformation, such as addresses

> Favorites until you obtain a better signal.
> 
> Parking Lots and Other "Off-Road" Locations
> 
> If you are not near a street, Nearby Explorer appends a distance and 
> direction to the nearest address. For example, if you turn south into a 
> parking lot at 100 Main Street and move away from the street, the program 
> adds a message, such as "29 yards north" to the street name announcement. In 
> this way, as you move south away from Main Street, the program announces the 
> address as "Main Street 29 yards north." This additional information about 
> the distance and direction is useful to determine the route back to the road 
> network in a park, parking lot, or other open area.
> 
> Occasionally, even though you are on a street, the program may announce the 
> street name as if you were away from the street. This usually occurs from a

> There may be obstructions between you and the POI. Nearby Explorer cannot 
> know about certain environmental barriers that may exist between you and the 
> point. You must use traditional mobility techniques to ensure the path is 
> safe or to follow a safe path to the point.
> 
> The tone also conveys information about the distance between the object to 
> which you point and your location. The higher the pitch, the closer you are 
> to that point. The speech also announces the distance, but the tone can be 
> used to quickly get an idea about which objects are closest as you scan the 
> environment.
> 
> There are two ways to position your device to use Geobeam. For both 
> positions, the "business end" is considered the top edge.
> 
> To engage Geobeam in the first position, hold the device out in front of you, 
> (as though you were handing it to someone), pointing the business end in the 
> direction of the POI. The screen should be facing skyward. In this position, 
> Nearby Explorer lets you know only about the closest POI when you point to 
> it. If you have a destination or a Watch set, use the device in this position 
> to find the destination or Watch point.
> 
> The second position is the normal Geobeam operating position. It is achieved 
> by rotating the device 90 degrees counter clockwise from position 1, (as 
> though you were shaking hands with someone). As you move your device into 
> this position, Nearby Explorer makes a sound. When you move it out of Geobeam 
> position, Nearby Explorer makes another sound to confirm.
> 
> Point the end of the device in different directions while maintaining its 
> orientation. When the end of the device points to a POI, Nearby Explorer 
> makes a sound, vibrates, and announces the name of the Place and its distance.
> When using Geobeam, be sure to take notice of these characteristics:
> •You can decrease or expand the distance range by adjusting the "search 
> radius":#PlaceRadius for Nearby Places.
> •Geobeam points can appear to move slightly. This movement is caused by 
> inaccurate satellite reception. You can still use them to get close to your 
> target location.
> •Geobeam is more accurate the further away you are from the point. When you 
> get close to the point, you must contend with other impediments, such as the 
> location being marked in an odd place (like in the street) or poor satellite 
> reception.
> 
> If you don't want Nearby Explorer to provide feedback when you position the 
> phone, turn Geobeam off with the Geobeam button on the toolbar.
> 
> Adjust Nearest Place Behavior
> 
> By default, Nearby Explorer reports the direction to the nearest place as a 
> compass direction, but you can change this behavior to receive direction as a 
> position on a clock face. To do that, use the Context menu, and select the 
> Report as Clock Face option.
> 
> If you do not have a network connection, Nearby Explorer uses the POIs in its 
> database to identify nearby places. If you have a data connection, the app 
> uses the Foursquare[^R^] service or Google Places[^TM^] business listings 
> instead. These services can provide POIs in interesting and useful ways.
> 
> Google Places provides as many as 20 place results for each search request. 
> Therefore, it can provide different, more general, or more meaningful results 
> by changing the radius of the search. Google Places allows a radius of up to 
> approximately 30 miles. Foursquare shows 50 place results at a time.
> 
> By default, Nearby Explorer uses a radius of 170 yards to help identify the 
> nearest place. This radius usually provides adequate information about almost 
> any small business, government facility, or other place in relative 
> proximity. If you are located where there are few businesses or institutions, 
> or if you reduce the radius too much, you may get no results.
> 
> There are a few ways to adjust the radius. The easiest way is to use the 
> Radius buttons on the toolbar.
> 
> You may also select the Set Radius option from the Context menu of the Nearby 
> Position item. Nearby Explorer responds with a menu from which you may select 
> the desired radius.
> 
> If you are traveling in a vehicle, you should not use a small radius, 
> especially in a densely populated area. As you travel, increase the radius 
> based on the environment and your personal preferences.
> 
> Watch
> 
> The Watch function is used to monitor a particular point of interest. It is 
> most effective as a reference and orientation tool. When you monitor a POI, 
> Nearby Explorer always displays the distance and direction to the Watch point 
> from your current position. To set a place as a Watch, follow these steps:
> 1.Select a search result or a Favorite and open its Context menu.
> 2.Select Set as Watch.
> 
> Alternatively, select Set Location as Watch from any Context menu on the main 
> screen.
> 
> If you have the Watch item turned on, the app monitors and announces the 
> distance and direction to the place you are watching.
> 
> If you set a Watch position, the compass in your device can also be used to 
> point to the Watch point. As you point at the watched position with your 
> screen facing skyward, Nearby Explorer announces the name and distance and 
> vibrates to let you know where that position is located. For example, you 
> could set the location of your car in a large parking lot as a Watch point 
> and be able to locate it later.
> 
> Explore the Map
> 
> While Nearby Explorer keeps track of your location as you move, it can also 
> provide information about other places while you remain stationary or move 
> about virtually.
> 
> The program provides several methods for map exploration, such as using the 
> Go To option (explained shortly) from the result of the Explore, Search, or 
> Favorites tools.
> 
> You can also use the touch screen of your device to explore the map. To learn 
> more about map exploration using a touch screen, see Map View. 
> To virtually shift to another city or state, see Search.
> 
> Virtual Navigation
> 
> Nearby Explorer lets you navigate virtually. Select Enable Virtual Navigation 
> from any Context menu on the main screen. Nearby Explorer shows buttons to 
> move in any cardinal direction. Each button click moves 20 yards.
> 
> Follow Roads
> 
> Navigation mode moves in the exact direction you request by default. However, 
> this can be a problem if you wish to follow a road that does not run exactly 
> north/south or east/west. The Follow Roads switch on the Navigation screen 
> makes Nearby Explorer follow the road instead of moving in the precise 
> direction you indicate. This usually works well, but it can sometimes cause 
> Nearby Explorer to assume the incorrect street when navigating through an 
> intersection. Moving in a different direction often helps you get back on the 
> correct street in this situation.
> 
> To exit Navigation mode, press Resume on the toolbar or disable Virtual 
> Navigation from any Context menu.
> 
> Accuracy
> 
> The Accuracy setting provides a number to be considered as a range for 
> horizontal positioning. For instance, if the app shows "5 yards" the program 
> is fairly confident that it knows your position within 5 yards. The smaller 
> the number, the more accurate you should consider Nearby Explorer's 
> information.
> 
> Vertical Accuracy
> 
> Vertical Accuracy is an indication of the reliability of the Altitude report.
> 
> Favorites
> 
> In addition to the POIs in the maps, you can add your own places. In Nearby 
> Explorer, these are called Favorites.
> 
> Favorites are treated like Nearby Places. As you approach a Favorite, the app 
> announces its name and location.
> 
> You use Favorites to mark an existing place more suitable to your needs or to 
> mark a place that does not exist in the map data. You can also save existing 
> places as Favorites for easier access.
> 
> To set your current location as a Favorite, select Save Location as Favorite 
> from any Context menu on the main screen.
> 
> The app responds by displaying a dialog box where you may type a new name or 
> press the OK button to accept the automatically generated name. The 
> automatically generated name consists of the nearest address.
> 
> It is useful to give favorite places meaningful names that more precisely 
> describe the marked position. When marking the door to a restaurant, for 
> example, use exact wording to distinguish that Favorite from the more general 
> POI in the maps. "Side Door to Wendy's" distinguishes the entrance from the 
> map data's more general "Wendy's" moniker.
> 
> To display a list of your Favorites, press the Favorites button at the bottom 
> of the screen.
> 
> The Favorites list organizes your Favorites by their distance from your 
> current position, so the closest places are listed first.
> 
> Each item in the list shows the name of the Favorite, its distance and 
> direction from your current position, and its address.
> 
> To rename a Favorite, follow these steps:
> 1.Select one of the favorites in the list.
> 2.Select Rename from the Context menu that appears. The app displays a dialog 
> box with the current name.
> 3.Edit the current name or type a new one.
> 4.Press the Save button.
> 
> To delete a Favorite, follow these steps:
> 1.Select the favorite to delete.
> 2.Select Delete from the Context menu.
> 
> Transit
> 
> Nearby Explorer uses transit feeds for several transit systems to provide 
> information about public transit.
> 
> To use the Transit feature in a supported metropolitan area, press the 
> Transit button at the bottom of the screen.
> 
> If you haven't used the Transit feature in the current city, Nearby Explorer 
> downloads the transit map for that area.
> 
> Nearby Explorer automatically updates transit maps when possible. If the map 
> for your system expires, Nearby Explorer shows "Expired" and the date on 
> which the data expired in the title of the screen. If this occurs, you may 
> wish to contact your transit system. You may still use expired maps, but be 
> aware they may no longer be accurate.
> 
> Once you choose a transit system, Nearby Explorer's Transit Stop screen 
> displays a list of nearby stops, with the closest stop listed first.
> 
> To see more nearby stops, press the More Stops button at the bottom of the 
> screen.
> 
> Each list item on the Stops screen contains the following information:
> •Street corner or address where the stop is located
> •Direction the bus/train travels from that stop
> •Distance and direction to that location from your current position
> •Time of the next bus/train serving that stop
> 
> To see a list of all the routes that service a particular stop, select one of 
> the stops.
> 
> The Route screen includes buttons for the previous and next day in addition 
> to a list of vehicles. Each item in the list includes the following:
> •Time the vehicle reaches that stop.
> •Short name or number of the route.
> •Name of the route
> •Name of the vehicle
> 
> To see a schedule of times when the vehicle passes that corner, select the 
> route of interest. Nearby Explorer responds with a schedule screen that shows 
> all the times for the day.
> 
> To follow the vehicle's route, select the time of interest. Nearby Explorer 
> responds with the All Stops screen. The All Stops screen shows the time, 
> address, direction of travel, and distance and direction from the last stop.
> 
> To identify buses/trains at other stops, press Back to get to the Nearby 
> Stops screen and select another stop.
> 
> Multiple Transit Systems

> Alternate Transit System button at the bottom of the Transit view. Press this 
> button to rotate through the available transit systems.
> 
> Updating Transit Schedules
> 
> Nearby Explorer uses an automated system to keep its transit information 
> up-to-date. If an update is available, Nearby Explorer downloads the schedule 
> the next time you start Nearby Explorer.

> Search
> 
> Nearby Explorer assists you with finding businesses, institutions, addresses, 
> and places that relate to a specific topic.
> 
> Once you find a place of business, you can do one of several things, 
> depending upon the information available for that location. These things 
> include receiving directions or guidance, adding it to your Favorites, or 
> traveling to it virtually on the map.
> 
> There is a Search Provider button at the bottom of the screen that lets you 
> select among Google Places, Foursquare, and On-board maps. The Search screen 
> inherits the provider settings from the Home screen.
> 
> Nearby Explorer can search within approximately a 30-mile radius of your 
> actual or virtual position. To initiate a search with another location than 
> your own, first search for a city and state, and then search for the place of 
> interest.
> 
> To open the Search screen, press the Search button. Nearby Explorer responds 
> with a screen that lets you type a term and shows a list of nearby places.
> 
> To search for POIs in another city or state, you must switch to that city 
> first. To do this, follow these steps:
> 1.Activate the Edit Box.
> 2.Type the city or county name or the first few letters of the name, followed 
> by a comma, then the two letter state or province abbreviation.
> 
> Nearby Explorer responds by displaying a list of matching cities and the 
> county in which that city is located. Each item in the list also indicates 
> that city's distance and direction from your current location. Choose the 
> city of interest.
> 
> The app responds with a City Action menu containing either Go To or Search.
> 
> To move the virtual position to that city and close the Search screen, choose 
> Go To.
> 
> To display search results from that city, choose Search.
> 
> The types of items that appear in the Search screen list depend on your 
> network connection, the search radius setting, your location, or any terms 
> you have typed. These POIs are arranged so the closest one appears at the top 
> of the list. Each list item shows the name of the place, its category, and 
> its distance and direction from your current or virtual position.
> 
> To show places related to a term you type, follow these steps:
> 1.Activate the Edit Box.
> 2.Type a word or key word that is in the name of the desired place.
> 
> Nearby Explorer automatically increases the search radius to approximately 30 
> miles when you provide a specific term to find. You may change the radius to 
> narrow the distance to search. Nearby Explorer discards any changes to the 
> radius or search provider when you close the Search view.
> 
> You may search for addresses in any location by entering the street number as 
> the first portion of the search term. For example, 1839 Frankfort Ave, 
> Louisville shows APH from wherever you search.
> 
> When you select one of the search results, Nearby Explorer displays a menu of 
> actions from which to choose. The menu includes the following:
> •Save to Favorites
> •Go To
> •Get Directions
> •Set as destination
> •Set as Watch
> •View on Foursquare (if using Foursquare as a search provider.)
> 
> Streets
> 
> To show the Streets screen, press the Streets button at the bottom of the 
> screen.
> 
> The Streets screen shows all the intersections on the current street and a Go 
> To button.
> 
> Each intersection in the list shows the name of the intersecting street, the 
> distance and direction to that intersection, and in which direction the 
> street runs.
> 
> If you were on Maple Street between 1st and 2nd Streets and opened the 
> Streets view, you might see a list like the following:
> •1st Street 100 yards north heading east
> •2nd Street 50 yards north heading east and west
> •3rd Street 20 yards south heading east and west
> •4th Street 70 yards south heading east and west
> 
> Nearby Explorer highlights the closest intersection to your current location. 
> When you open this view, the cursor will be on the 2nd Street or 3rd Street 
> item depending on which is closest.
> 
> To turn onto one of the streets listed, select the street. Nearby Explorer 
> displays a new list with all the intersections on the new street. Of course, 
> one of those intersections is the street you were on when you Selected it, so 
> the list might look like the following:
> •Ash 3 miles west heading north and south
> •Cherry 2 miles west heading north and south
> •Dogwood 1 mile west heading north and south
> •Elm .5 miles west heading north
> •Lilac .1 miles west heading south
> •Maple heading north and south
> •Peach 200 yards east heading south
> 
> Since the intersection of 2nd and Maple is closest, Nearby Explorer 
> highlights the street "Maple" in the list.
> 
> When you get to the desired location, press the Go To button to return to the 
> Nearby screen with your location set to the selected intersection.
> 
> Map View
> 
> Along with the Home screen, where you fine tune what the app says as you 
> move, Nearby Explorer offers a view of the map.
> 
> The Map view shows an interactive, accessible map of your current or virtual 
> position.
> 
> To use the map, select the Map tab at the bottom of the screen. Nearby 
> Explorer fills the screen with the standard Apple Map view with integration 
> into Nearby Explorer's interface.
> 
> Using the Map
> 
> Use your finger to touch or slide on any part of the screen to receive 
> feedback about that part of the map.
> 
> North is at the top of the screen, south is at the bottom, and east and west 
> are right and left, respectively.
> 
> As you touch the screen, VoiceOver gives feedback in the form of tones and 
> verbal announcements. When you touch a street and pause there on the map with 
> VoiceOver Hints enabled, you begin getting beeping feedback as you slide your 
> finger to follow that street. Wether or not you enable VoiceOver Hints, 
> pausing while touching a street makes VoiceOver begin beeping at different 
> tones. This lets you know when you drift away from the street, and it 
> provides verbal announcements as you approach intersections while you slide.
> 
> In addition to street name and direction information, VoiceOver announces 
> POIs. The amount of detail depends on how closely the map is zoomed.
> 
> If the map does not cover enough space, or you want to move the center of the 
> map, use the scroll and zoom features to adjust the view.
> 
> Scroll the Map
> 
> To scroll the map, use the technique where you double tap then hold and 
> slide. The usual three-finger scrolling technique required when you are 
> running VoiceOver does not work.
> When you scroll, Nearby Explorer virtually moves to the point at the center 
> of the map and applies the announcements you set in the Home screen. It also 
> pauses the GPS, so to resume tracking your position, activate the Resume 
> button at the top of the Home screen when you finish using the map or other 
> tools where you virtually explore.
> 
> The amount you scroll depends on how far you drag your finger and the zoom 
> level.
> 
> Zoom
> 
> To zoom, use the Rotor to get to the Zoom control, then flick up or down. 
> Zoom is not in the default Rotor configuration, so you must add it in the 
> Settings / General / Accessibility / VoiceOver / Rotor setting. You only need 
> to add it once.
> 
> Once you add Zoom, you may flick up and down to change the amount of 
> information to show on the map. VoiceOver responds with each adjustment by 
> announcing the number of roads visible in the new view. The closer you zoom, 
> the more information about roads and POIs you get. As you broaden the view, 
> you see only more prominent roads and POIs.
> 
> Points of Interest Rotor Control
> 
> When focused on the Map view, VoiceOver adds Points of Interest to the
