Hi Mike and every body I too believe this X command should beleft alone. I would not find that beneficial in the least. It isnot worth giving up something that we use all the time forsomething we will or should I say I will not use as much. RickyPrevatte, LMBT

Hello!

I agree with Angela. I like to know both streets when I use the

X command.

I prefer that it remains the same.

Thanks so much for asking for our opinions before you decide to

change

features. I, for one, appreciate the fact that you listen to

what your

customers want.
With a smile,
Karen Shrawder

I say, leave the X command the way it is. I like having both

pieces of

information in one keystroke. I may not always want to hear the

address.

And if all I want to hear about is the street I am currently

walking on,

having to hear or read the address just to find out the street

name would

slow things down a bit.

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?
