[Loadstone] Can I be told where I am?

[Jacob Kruger]

Navigation mode, and auto announce, enabled under the functions menu.

This should then tell you when you are in fact approaching a checkpoint, and 
if
it's in the list of current checkpoints - as in a form of route you can
define - you could also enable use checkpoints only if you wanted to limit
it to announcing only certain sets of points, but pretty sure this 
limitation only relates to auto announcement since think it will still 
announce nearest relevant point if you just hit the select key while in 
navigation mode.

Stay well

Subject: [Loadstone] Can I be told where I am?


I have a Nokia N86, which I am using with its built-in GPS. For a few
days I have tried Loadstone, so I’m not at all an experienced user.

I have entered some points, while walking around where I live (west
coast of Norway) Now I want to be informed, whenever I approach one of
these points. I have tried Exploration and Navigation modes, plus
experimented a bit with different settings under Configuration, without
being able to obtain this goal.

Do I have to place my points in a list of Checkpoints, and retrieve this
list before starting to walk? Any other suggestions?

I hope Loadstone can help me to achieve more independence in the future,
so I’m thankful for answers.

Best regards from

Magne Bjorndal
