Frequently Asked Questions
What if I encounter more than 5 markers in my `seen` radius?
The current "recently seen markers" list will be cleared, and a random sampling of the new group of markers will be added to the "recently seen markers" list. The markers will be available to view in the "hamburger" menu.
When driving around, with "automatically speak markers" disabled, and new markers are added to the "recently seen" list, will those markers be spoken when they are "seen" again?
No.
If you drive by that marker again, even though it has not been spoken, it will not be put in the "Recently Seen Markers" list again.
On Android, when I'm running on battery power, and my screen is off, after a few minutes the app stops collecting and announcing markers. Why?
You phone is entering a low power mode called Doze. Most applications are paused to save battery, except for alarms, calls and messages.
Here's how to change the setting on your phone:
