Qwerty keyboard, List selectors, Sliders, Switches

List selectors

When the available values in the list need to be named, only the current value is displayed (sometimes with a short description) in a horizontal stripe with arrows at both ends.

The arrows are buttons. Tap to move left in the list or tap to move right. You need not confirm your selection. The selected value becomes effective immediately.

Sliders

When a feature has several different unnamed (numeric) values, the Travel Companion shows sliders to set the desired value. They look like analogue potentiometers.

If the value limits are not displayed at the ends of the slider, the leftmost or bottom position means the minimum value, while the rightmost or top position represents the maximum value.

With some sliders, you can check the current value at one end.

This control can be operated in two ways. Either drag the handle to move the slider to its new position, or tap the slider where you require the handle to appear (the thumb jumps there immediately). There is no need to confirm your selection. The selected value becomes effective immediately.

Switches

When a function can only have two values (mainly Enabled and Disabled), a switch is used. The horizontal line contains the name of the function and not the actual status. There is a check box on the left to show whether the function is active or not.

When the check mark is cleared or missing, it indicates that the function is not selected. When the check mark is selected or displayed, the function is selected or enabled. The entire strip performs as a button. Tap the strip to toggle between the enabled and disabled status.

Virtual keyboards

Your Travel Companion is designed to ensure that you only need to enter letters or numbers when it is inevitable. In these cases, a full screen keyboard pops up. It can be easily operated with your fingertips.

You can choose between a QWERTY keyboard that contains only letters, and a numeric keypad. There is a button reserved to switch between the two keyboard types.

The alphabetic keyboard in the Travel Companion does not contain special characters, because you do not need to enter accents when searching for a destination. Type only the base letters (the letter most similar to the accented one) and the Travel Companion searches for all the combinations in the database (for example, for the French street ‘Cité Bergère ’ you only need to type ‘Cite Bergere’, and the application picks up the correct street name).

When you type in POI names or track log names, the Travel Companion automatically turns all initials into capitals to create names.

The QWERTY keyboard

The QWERTY keyboard has the same layout as the Standard English QWERTY keyboard. The only difference is that it contains no numbers and symbol keys. Only the alphabet and some special keys.

The special keys are as follows:
