The ' where am I? ' position
5.1
The simplest function of the navigation program is the ' where am I? '
position. With the help of this function, street name, house number and
place name - in that order - can be requested at any time in spoken form.
5.2
This function works best in a street some distance from side streets or an
intersection. You can then be sure that you are also in the
aforementioned street.
5.3
The house number is approximate and offers no guarantee that you are
exactly aware of that number. That house number can also be on the
other side of the street, certainly in narrow streets. Along wide roads you
can count on more whether you walk on the odd or even side of the
road.

To be able to listen to a the ‘Where am I?’ function, it may be necessary
to use an earpiece, headphone with bone conductor, collar speaker,
carrying case or the like. The smartphone with loud volume in the breast
pocket is also possible. If the message is lost due to noise, the 'Where am
I ? ' function be repeated as often as you want.
Please note, prolonged use of earplugs at full volume can cause hearing
damage.
5.5
The 'where am I ? 'function can be performed with the right-hand button
(i) on the I-Cane Mobilo® so that the smartphone can be stored safely .
Press this button briefly, a double tone indicates that the function is
being executed. Wait for the result. This can take a few seconds because
a card must be consulted. If the message remains out of use, use the
function again.
5.6
Tip: also regularly use the 'where am I ?' ' position. This is to determine
whether the GPS signal is able to determine your location correctly.
Certainly at the start of a route, the process of locating can take a little
longer.
