Here in Chicago and nearby suburbs using the Chicago street grid, even
numbers are on the north and west and odd numbers are on the south and
east.

> Introduction
>
> When sighted people use a global positioning system (GPS), their main
> interests are getting directions and/or guidance to a destination. Blind
> users appreciate these features as well, but generally desire more
> orientation queues than are available on commercial GPS apps. Nearby
> Explorer is a GPS app designed to provide these queues. When combined with
> an accessible interface and customizable, current information about points
> of interest (POIs), the tools provide a meaningful picture of the vicinity
> and its characteristics.
>
> Nearby Explorer works by:
> 1.displaying a screen containing several geography-related categories,
> letting you turn on the ones of interest (announced as you move). You can
> put the phone to sleep and continue receiving feedback or examine the values
> on the screen.
> 2.letting you orient the phone in various positions to get more targeted
> information about: ◦points of interest (POIs),
> ◦direction and streets, and
> ◦the closest point of interest.
>
> 3.providing descriptive details such as: ◦intersection configurations as you
> approach,
> ◦transit stop next time, direction of travel, and head sign for systems in
> over 30 metro areas,
> ◦distance and adjustable direction to POIs, and
> ◦adjustable scope for prominence and proximity for POI announcements.
>
>
> Features
>
> The information that Nearby Explorer provides helps the blind traveler stay
> oriented. It shows surrounding and approaching streets, businesses,
> institutions, and public facilities, and offers continually updating
> distance and directional information to the nearest or selected location.
>
> Nearby Explorer provides a sense of the surrounding streets and their
> relationship to the user's current position. Additionally, it enables the
> passenger in a vehicle to aid the driver with directions and suggestions.

>
> Maps

> Requirements
>
> Nearby Explorer requires the following:
> 1.iPhone, iPad, or iPod running iOS 9.0 or later
> 2.GPS receiver either on the device or via Bluetooth. (All iPhones contain a
> GPS receiver.)
> 3.At least 4.2 GB of free space on which to store downloaded maps

>
> To reduce the GPS power consumption, press Nearby Explorer's Pause button.
> This turns off tracking. Press the Resume button to resume using GPS. Using

>
> If you do not move for 15 minutes, Nearby Explorer pauses use of GPS
> automatically. To resume, press the Resume button or unlock the device and
> activate Nearby Explorer if necessary.
>
> Installation
>
> When you start Nearby Explorer for the first time, it displays licensing
> information that should be read carefully. If you understand and agree with
> the terms, select the OK button to continue.
>
> If the app detects it has no map data, Nearby Explorer checks to ensure

> You may use the app while maps download, but only limited functionality is
> available until the download is completed.
>
> Starting
>
> When you start the application, Nearby Explorer displays the Nearby screen

> The Nearby screen contains a toolbar at the top with buttons for Pause,
> Compass, GeoBeam, and Radius adjustments, and a toolbar at the bottom
> containing buttons for Streets, Search, Favorites, and Transit.
> Below the bottom toolbar is a collection of four tabs for Home, Map,
> Settings, and Help.

>
> Street Number
>
> The Street Number option on the Nearby screen provides the closest house
> number of the current position. As you move, the number changes to reflect
> the new, closest address.
>
> Nearby Explorer calculates street addresses by dividing a block into equal
> segments and assigning a number to each segment. There are cases where this
> approach can report a number that is one or two houses away from the actual
> address. Take the example of a large business that occupies an entire block.
> While its published address might be 900 Main Street, as you travel down the
> block, Nearby Explorer reports 900, 902, 904, and so on, to the end of the
> block and the official last number.
>
> Choose Address Provider
>
> Sometimes, you can get more precise street numbers by using an alternate
> provider. Nearby Explorer offers the following providers:
> •On-board maps
> •Apple
>
> The accuracy of each provider may depend on your area. One way to test the
> accuracy is to see if the app gives you an accurate address for your house
> or business.
> To change providers, activate the Context menu, then select Address
> Provider.
>
> Street Name
>
> The Street Name option displays the street on which the user is currently
> traveling. If this item is selected, the name of the street is announced
> when you turn onto another street or when you enter a cross street.
>
> When approaching a cross street, depending on the accuracy of the GPS
> signal, Nearby Explorer announces the name of the cross street as you enter
> the 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
> located on the wrong side of the street. If this happens, avoid setting any
> 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
> poor satellite signal and ordinarily corrects itself unless atmospheric
> conditions are extremely poor.
>
> If you do not want to know how far away from the street you are, open the
> Street item's Context menu and select Disable Off Road Indication.
>
> How Addresses and Highways Work
>
> In many US cities, the city is divided into quadrants with a street
> separating the north quadrant from the south and a street separating the
> east quadrant from the west. Any street that is west of the east/west line
> often contains "W" in the name to indicate that it is west of the dividing
> line between east and west. Similarly, streets east of the east/west line
> often contain "E" in the name. The addresses begin at the east/west line and
> increase as they move away from it in either direction. Thus, if the
> east/west dividing line is Main Street, and Maple Street intersects Main,
> the addresses west of Main would start with 100 and increase as you move
> west. 400 W. Maple Street is west of 300 W. Maple Street. Similarly, the
> addresses east of Main increase as you move east, so 200 E. Maple Street is
> east of 100 E. Maple Street.
>
> Often a block starts with an address such as 100 or 200 and increases to 99

>
> If an interstate does not start at the state's border, the mile markers
> begin numbering at the start of the interstate.
>
> The exits on an interstate are indicated by the mile marker. Exit 5 is
> always located between mile marker 5 and 6. If there are two or more exits
> within a mile, their designation includes both the mile marker and a suffix
> letter. If there were three exits at marker 5, they would be labeled 5A, 5B,
> and 5C.
>
> When you see exits in the map data, they are treated like streets, but the
> street name is the exit number. Therefore, it is not uncommon to have
> streets entering and exiting the interstate with names such as 8 or 8A.
>
> Interstates are named with "I-" followed by the interstate number. I-40 E
> refers to the eastbound lanes of Interstate 40.
>
> US highways are labeled with the prefix "US-" followed by the route number.
> US-67 refers to US Highway, Route 67.
>
> State highways are named with the state abbreviation followed by the highway
> number as in IN-62 for Indiana Highway 62.
>
> County roads are labeled with "County Road" or some abbreviation such as
> "CR" followed by the number of the road as in CR 1429.
>
> Approaching
>
> The Approaching option on the Nearby screen lets Nearby Explorer describe
> upcoming intersections as you approach.
>
> The app describes the next intersection as soon as you pass the current
> one.
>
> If the cross street only intersects on one side, Nearby Explorer announces
> either "Left Side" or "Right Side" after the name and before the distance.
>
> If the street is a cross street, Nearby Explorer says the street name and
> "ahead."
>
> Distance Updates
>
> In addition to announcing the side of the street, Nearby Explorer also
> estimates and provides the distance to that intersection. As you approach
> the street, the distance is updated to reflect your changing position.
>
> Guidance
>
> The Guidance setting displays the next maneuver to take (in the directions)
> when you set a place as a destination. For example, it might say, "In 30
> yards, turn left on Main Street."
>
> To set a place as a Destination, follow these steps:
> 1.Activate the Search or Favorites button at the bottom of the screen. You
> may also pick Recent Destinations from the Context menu for the Guidance
> option.
> The app displays a list of Places.
> 2.Activate the item of interest.
> Nearby Explorer shows a menu of actions for favorites and searches. For
> recent destinations, Nearby Explorer sets the destination immediately.
> 3.Select Set as Destination.
>
> When you set a destination, Nearby Explorer announces the route type
> (pedestrian or vehicle), and the side of the street of the destination. Each
> time you set a destination, Nearby Explorer adds it to the list of recent
> destinations. The program remembers the previous 20 places to which you
> requested guidance.
>
> When using the guidance function, keep in mind that streets are marked at
> their center line. Therefore, when Nearby Explorer says, "Turn left on Maple
> in 30 yards," you need to take into consideration the width of the street.
>
> Guidance and Directions
>
> When you acquire a list of Favorites or search results, you can obtain
> directions to that location or receive guidance as you travel there. These

> emitting from the end of the device, which you can use to point directly to
> features in the environment. As long as you maintain the direction, the
> vibration continues. You can use this vibration to guide you to the point.
>
> CAUTION:
> 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.

> 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
> choices available in the Rotor. To see all the POIs, select Points of
> Interest in the Rotor, then flick through the names of each of them that
> appear in the view.
>
> Geobeam and Compass From Map View
>
> You may use Geobeam and Compass to examine the surrounding virtual area,
> just as if you were there. These tools can help orient you to unfamiliar
> places before you travel to them.
>
> Home Screen
>
> To return to the Home screen, select it from the bottom left of the screen.
> You may wish to make adjustments in what gets announced as you scroll
> through the map. If so, change the settings, then return to the Map tab.
> If you scrolled the map, Nearby Explorer pauses the GPS reception. To return
> to a live GPS position, activate the Resume button at the top of the
> screen.
>
> Settings
>
> The Settings tab shows options that let you change how Nearby Explorer
> behaves.
>
> Report Distances in Metric Units: Off

>
> Report Distances in Feet Instead of Yards: Off
>
> If using imperial measurement units, Nearby Explorer can express distances
> in feet rather than yards. Turn this setting on to receive distance
> announcements in feet.
> This option is not available if the Report Distances in Metric Units setting
> is on.
>
> Allow Geobeam and Compass when App is in the Background
