Subject: [gps-talkusers] question about a potential feature
Some time back, a number of you expressed an interest in changing the X
command to announce the cross street only instead of the street you are on
as well. You can of course get the street you are on with the A command so
it makes sense that the X would announce the cross street.
For seasoned users, you will notice that the X command occasionally gets the
street you are on wrong, particularly if you are amongst high buildings and
experiencing multipath.
Let's assume the X gets it right 90% of the time. That means that 10% of the
time, it would get it wrong. If we drop the name of the street you are on,
there would occasionally be some ambiguity.
Would you still be okay with the new X command announcing the cross street
only if it was wrong 10% of the time? After all, this is the nature of the
GPS that you have to know when to trust the information and when to question
it.
What do you think. Leave the X the way it is or change to announce the cross
street only?
