Concepts
There are two central concepts intrinsic to the List screen.
- Location
- This is your current location. When your device has access to its
location information, the location LED in the status bar will be
green. During those times when it cannot get a fix on its current
location, it will be red.
- Bearing
- This is the direction your device (and generally you) is
moving. It is not necessarily the direction the
device is facing. When the device can get its bearing, the
bearing LED will be green; otherwise, it will be red. It
can sometimes be hard for a device to get its bearing --
your bearing LED may often be red when your location LED is
green.
In call cases, Evermore will do its best to provide both
location-based information (such as your distance from each
Pin)
and bearing-based information (such as the direction to each
Pin).
Location- and bearing-dependent items will slowly fade once their respective LED turns red. This is to indicate that Evermore is giving you the best information it can, but the information is slowly aging.
List Status Bar
At the top is the List Status Bar. It has the following items.
- Corner Arrows
- The two corner arrows indicate your bearing.
- Lock Button
- The Lock button will lock the list to the boundary between the
yellow arrows and the red arrows. The list will continue to update
itself as you drive. This makes it easy to be aware of interesting
items as you approach them.
- Center Direction
- Your current bearing will be shown in text in the center of the
status bar. The two arrows to either side of it always point
up.
- Location Led
- Indicates that your device has access to information about your
current location.
- Bearing Led
- Indicates that your device has an understanding of the direction
it is travelling.
List Table
The List table displays all the
Pins in a list format. The
nearest
Pins will be near the center of the list and the furthest
Pins will be at the top and bottom of the list. By default, the
top of the list represents North but if you are moving then it will match
the direction of your most recent movement.
Each row has the following, from left to right.
- An icon representing the type of the row (e.g., Contact, Yelp Search).
- A short description of the Pin.
- A line-of-sight distance to the represented Pin.
- An arrow pointing in the direction of the Pin.
The distance provided is the line-of-sight distance to the
Pin
and may not be the same as the driving distance to the
Pin.
