If you want to use your global positioning system (GPS) to direct you while you're walking, you don't want to be restricted by one-way streets, right-turn only lanes and roads limited to vehicle access. Some GPS devices offer a pedestrian mode for this purpose.

Every GPS is a little bit different so you should follow the directions in the manual that came with your GPS. But in general, here's how to use your car GPS in pedestrian mode.

First change the usage mode under system settings.

1. Select Tools.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select System.
4. Select Usage Mode.
5. Select Pedestrian.
6. Touch OK

Your GPS is now in pedestrian mode. Simply touch Navigate to and enter the location you wish to walk to by selecting:

* Address to enter the name of a location
* Recent Destination to select a place you recently viewed on your GPS
* Point on Map to select a destination from the map
* Home to be directed to your home address (which you should have entered when setting up your GPS)
* Point of Interest to choose from a database of gas stations, hotels, ATMs, restaurants and more.
* Favorite Locations to choose a destination you've saved in your Favorite.
