ARkeys is a small add-on for Microsoft AutoRoute. It makes in-car navigation a safer and more pleasant experience for the driver.
ARkeys lets you perform the following actions by using F-keys on your keyboard:
F1 - (Help) lists functions for 10 seconds or till Esc or Enter is pressed
F2 - starts AutoRoute or brings it to your desktop if minimized
F3 - toggles Track Position
F4 - toggles Keep Position Centered
F5 - toggles Rotate Map to follow travel direction
F6 - recalculates route from current location
F7 - toggles Route Planner
F8 - toggles Find Nearby Places
F9 - clears route
F10 - zooms-out
F11 - zooms-in
F12 - toggles Create GPS Trail
All F-keys, except F2, do retain their typical function when AutoRoute is not active.
