[gps-talkusers] Re: Any tips for highway use?

Thank you for your reply.  I am glad to know it wasn't some feature or
command I had forgotten about.  I'll look forward to the having these
problems solved in a future version.  This brings up another question that
has been lerking in my mind.  What would be the best way to look a few
street ahead of your current gps position while riding in a vehicle or is
this part of what we should look for in a future version?

You are correct that is a problem, and is one I am working on correcting.
This is high on our list, and hope to resolve this issue.

Thank you for voicing your concern.  We appreciate this kind of feedback.
