Hi,
I think there's some confusion, pedestrian is not a mode, it's a route
type.
The system has two modes, GPS or Virtual.
GPS is when you are tracking live and virtual is where you can explore
anywhere without having a GPS receiver connected. A pedestrian route
is a route that you create to get walking directions that do not obey
the rules of the road. IE. you can go down a one way street in the
other direction.
Also when creating a pedestrian route you are not led onto highways
etc.
You can see the type of route you are following by pressing R then I
for route information.
Hope this helps.
Chris
