A major update with the release of version 1.1 of StellarTrek
The StellarTrek has been out for a few months now. Have you been enjoying it? Still hesitating to buy one? Well, we have good news: we made it even better.
A compass to help you start your journey!
When starting a route, your first direction will include some cardinal directions. West? South-East? Which way is that?
Don’t fret! The StellarTrek now includes a compass feature that will tell you which way you are facing. Just hold the device flat in your hand like you would a standard compass, and the StellarTrek will tell you which way you’re currently headed at the start of your route. You can also use the compass in the dedicated “Compass mode,” found in the detection modes alongside Address Detection, Quick Reading, and Detailed reading.
Smarter management of POIs and landmarks!
Landmarks can now be sorted by city, proximity, last used, and by creation date. This enables you to find your favorite landmarks easier, and you can even remove all landmarks in each city if you don’t think you’ll visit again! You can also now set a commercial Point of Interest as a destination! They will be added to your list of landmarks.
Quality of life changes
- Installed maps can be found in the ABOUT menu
- Improved the map installation process robustness
- Putting the device in sleep mode while maps install no longer interrupts the installation
- Haptic feedback will now work more consistently
Recent Testimonial:
“I am a long time Trekker user. Since I have my StellarTrek, I am sure that its high-capacity battery will never let me down! And if I get caught in a rainstorm, I don’t have to worry anymore because it is waterproof! With its cameras, which guide me to the final stages of my destination, StellarTrek is very very efficient!” – Andre, Canada
As reported at the 2022 ACB (American Council of the Blind) and NFB (National Federation of the Blind) conventions this year by David Goldfield, Blindness Assistive Technology Specialist at Comcast:
“After demonstrating some features of the Victor Reader Trek Rachel Feinberg of Humanware announced and demonstrated a prerelease version of a new GPS product from Humanware called the Stellar Trek. I have no original source link as this was just announced and so is likely not yet mentioned on Humanware’s Web site. As I am attending the ACB convention virtually I have not had an opportunity to examine it.
- Size of a deck of cards
- Two cameras on the back which can be used for door detection
- Has OCR capabilities
- She is demonstrating the OCR features as I write this. Quick reading mode takes pictures of text and then reads.
- Makes a camera click sound as it processes text.
- Quick reading is just for things like signs, menus, etc.
- Detailed reading gives orientation information to help position the camera.
- Detailed reading mode with a printed Humanware announcement was quite accurate.
- Has virtual map browsing.
- Stellar Trek can read at a distance of 8-12 inches.
- Device is still in beta.
- A bit longer than the Victor Trek but not quite as thick and wide. Similar in size to the Trekker Breeze. About seven buttons on the front panel, including a directional pad.
- Below four-way direction pad is a long button on the left, small button on the right.
- It is so new they don’t have a price yet.
- It does not have the reading and media capabilities of the Stream.
