Hi,

I already have the user exits poi file installed, but the highways around new York city don't announce the exits. Any ideas?

You are not crazy. Good suggestions. Some are already possible.

1. For vehicle routes there should be an option to select the shortest route as well as the quickest route just like in other commercial GPS systems. 

* Already on the feature list.

2. I wish that you could merge two routes to make one route. 

* Also on the feature list but not as high a priority.

3. When you recalculate a route, I wish that the whole route could be saved not just the route from the point of recalculation.

* You can save the route right after it is calculated. In that way, you can save the whole route and subsequent variations too if you wish.

4. It would be nice if you could save Poi's to your address list so that the contact information could be saved.

* I am only guessing as to what you mean by your address list. You can save POIs as waypoints into a favorites route. All the contact information is carried over. For example, you may wish to have a favorites list of restaurants. Just call up a route by that name and copy the point into the route with the chord K.

5. A favorite list of Poi's that is saved in alphabetical order that could be navigated by first letter navigation. This would be useful for setting virtual positions and destinations quickly.

* You can rearrange waypoints by editing a route into the order you wish. It is on the feature list to be able to have POIs sorted alphabetically versus by proximity as they currently are.

6. In the set address dialog, there should be a way of moving back to the previous prompt just encase you want to change something. Usually in keysoft, the backspace key or dot 1 chord would move you backward through the dialog. This would be useful when you are selecting a street, but you choose the wrong zipcode and cannot fine the correct address or cross street. You currently have to exit and start all over to try a different zipcode. It would be nice just to back up a prompt and change the zipcode that way. 

* Absolutely.

7. I wish that Highway exits would be announced. I live in New York and all you hear is that you are approaching a ramp, but the actual exit number or name is not announced.

* If the exit is in the POI database, it will be announced. This varies from area to area. Make sure you have downloaded the Exits POI file from the US User zip file on our download page.

8. It would be nice to have a keystroke that would copy all of the turns of a particular route to the clipboard.

* Backspace with K or Control C copy and append the last message announced to the clipboard.


So there's my wish list.  Am I crazy?  What do you guys think?
