Loadstone GPS Help - Explore Mode

The Symbian version of Loadstone GPS had a feature called 'Exploration Mode'. By popular request, this function was added to Loadstone GPS for IOS in Version 1.3.

Double tap the 'Actions' button in the Navigation tab and swipe right until you get to 'Explore'. Double tap to select it.

This will allow you to explore around your current location

When you start, Loadstone will tell you the nearest point to your current location and the direction of that point

On the Explore screen, there is a grid of nine buttons, three across, three down

Each button represents a compass direction

The centre button is 'Return to Starting Point'

Swipe right to move through the buttons

Double tap to select a direction

You will hear the nearest point in the selected direction

The information will be displayed below the Exploration grid
