Paragraph Number

125

One example of an external trigger event 506b may be when a user leaves or departs from the route being used for the navigation. Of course, a user may depart from a route for a variety of reasons. One reason may be because the user has lost their way during the navigation. One aspect that might contribute to a user losing their way may be because the user interface 100 may be using an orientation mode that is not optimal for this user and/or this context. The act of a user departing from the route may trigger an external trigger event 506b. In response to this event, the change orientation mode module 550 may change the orientation mode that may prove more helpful to a user who is lost. For example, where a user is hiking in a forest during daylight, the change orientation mode module 550 may change the orientation mode to North Up orientation mode to help the user get their bearings.
