Have you ever bought a new cell phone, pulled it out of the box along with the charger, and tossed everything else aside not even thinking of the papers and booklets that are tucked within that shiny neat packaging? I can honestly say I have never once opened a cell phone user guide. My philosophy has always been to just figure it out as I go. It’s more of a subconscious decision I must of made with myself years ago that just stuck.
Therefore, I’m always shocked when I learn something new about my cell or come across a new feature. I will admit, sometimes I feel like an idiot when I make that big “OOOOOOOH” noise as I realize I could of made my life ten times easier or saved myself a gang of time.
Which was the root of the problem to begin with… time. Finding the time to sit down and read a cell phone user guide. Let alone building enough motivation to even think about doing it.
And this brings me to why we think you might like this little ditty. Here is a quick and easy “how-to customize your Trapster map display” guide on your iPhone.
First select “Options” in the top right. Next select “Display” from the drop-down. You should now see a screen like this:
You will notice several options available. I bet you didn’t even know they were there, huh? hehe
Here is an example and description for each display option available.
1. Traps – This options allows you to toggle the trap icons on and off. You will still receive voice alerts for approaching traps but the icons will not appear on the map. If you wish to change your voice settings, you can do so in the “setup” menu
2. My Trips – The navigation line doesn’t show as you record your trips. However, you can still record a trip and the trips toolbar is still visible.
3. Traffic & Incidents – Not to pick favorites, but this is my favorite display function. This options shows traffic, incidents, and even road closures on your map, the data is collected from Google Maps.
4. Routes – This options toggles your routes navigation line on and off.
5. Search Results – And lastly, this options makes the search result markers disappear. You are still able to preform a search but the purple search markers for each option will not display.
Now you might ask why we have these display options. The answer is the map can get crowded and busy with traps, traffic, routes, and/or trips. We wanted to make it easy for you to see exactly what you want (dramatic pause) when you want it.
Hope this helps! Is there a display feature you would like to see added? Or one we could improve on? If you have any suggestions or comments please let us know.
