I left it multiple repeat, but it kept saying I was at an intersection
when I ws no where near it, same with roots, turns were very far off.
I'll try it at 50 ft. I just thought that was to far away.

Sarai,

The default arrival distance is 50 feet. This works well considering 
the map inaccuracies and GPS variations.

There are different triggering levels as described in the manual. For 
a route, you here an approaching alert at one point and then the turn 
alert when you are near the intersection. Speed of travle and the 
items I mentioned above impact the trigger threshold.

You can always press X to hear the intersection or leave it on 
multiple repeat if you wish.
