If this suggestion is possible, and then if it is adopted, I hope it would not 
start indicating until ten or twenty seconds have gone by.  There isn't much 
point in hearing indications before then.

  Dear GPS List, 

  I am not sure if this is a suggestion that has been already brought up yet, 
but I will throw it out there. I think there should be some sort of percentage 
indicator when the GPS is loading either maps, a route, finding a poi, and 
other functions in which it will have swishes. It is nice to know that for 
every three second there is one swish, and if the user has a Braille display 
they are able to see how many swishes has it gone through thus far. But, it can 
take as many as one swish to a few hundred swishes to do an operation, so this 
is a reason why a percentage indicator would be useful, so the user is able to 
have some sort of comparison and some expected time in which it will complete 
the operation.   

  Kevin
