For touchscreen phones, the main menu system is located at the bottom of the page. You use the left and right arrows to scroll through the carousel menu system, so you can choose the item you'd like to view.

The main views for both touchscreen and non-touchscreen phones are the home page and your itinerary.

The home page is the heart of the StreamThru application, it acts like a dashboard giving you a "here and now" view of the most important information for the current stage of your journey. The content of the home page changes throughout your journey. For example when you are travelling to the airport you might see flight information and traffic reports, whereas when you are at your destination you'd see a travel guide and events guide.

StreamThru uses a number of sources to calculate the current stage of your trip including your itinerary, real-time flight status data and the GPS location of your phone (if available).

Each piece of content displayed on the home page is a button - you can click any button to get more information about the selected content. For example, the home page will show today's weather forecast for your destination, click the button to view an extended 5-day forecast.

Access the home page, by clicking the home icon in the main menu.

Your flights are automatically added to your itinerary. You can add travel insurance, car hire, accommodation, etc by selecting "Add new item" from the itinerary page in the StreanThru app or by visiting streamthru.com from your desktop browser.

You can also add events to your itinerary from the StreamThru event guide - when viewing an event you plan to attend, simply select the 'Add to itinerary' option.

Access your itinerary by clicking the itinerary icon in the main menu.

A summary of your current flight's status is shown on the homepage, when you are travelling. You can click on the flight summary to view more detail about your flight.

At any time, you can check the status of any flight in your itinerary by clicking the flight icon in the main menu. This will list all of your flights. You can click on the flight you are interested in to view more detail.

This list shows: other flights from your departure airport to your destination airport, flights from nearby airports to your destination airport, and flights from your departure airport to other airports close to your destination.

Currently, we have airport guides for around 100 of largest airports worldwide. When an airport guide is available, you'll see it in on your homepage when you are travelling to or through that airport.

This information is saved to your itinerary (it's stoed against your return date) so it's available as a reminder when you get back to the airport.

If you have GPS enabled on your phone, and you have a good GPS signal (which typically means you are outdoors), when you enter the travel guide from the main menu, StreamThru will ask if you want to view the travel guide for your current location or for your destination. This way, if you go an excursion to another town, you will still be able to use the travel guide.

If you decide to attend the event, you can click 'Add to itinerary', if the event runs on multiple days, we'll let you pick the date you'd like to attend (and we only show dates when you're at this destination).

We chose Eventful for the StreamThru events guide, because they provide good coverage worldwide, although inevitably, you will find more things happening in major cities and resorts than for less popular destinations.

To work offline, from the homepage of your current trip choose "Options > Work offline". You'll see a message box telling you that you are now working offline, with saved data.

The next time you open the StreamThru application, if you say no to the message asking if you'd like to connect to the network and no to the message asking if you'd like to share your positional data, you'll go to the homepage for your current trip, viewing the previously saved data.

In offline mode, you'll see your itinerary and (if you visit these pages before going offline) the 5-day weather forecast, and the status of any upcoming flights.
