[gps-talkusers] Questions concerning announcement of intersections and POI look-up

Hello Group:
Thanks for being here! Am using the trial version 3.5 on an mpower BT. I
have read the manual, but it probably deserves a 2nd or 3rd reading
since I'm sure I missed some fine points. Here's my first question. 
When in a vehicle with no pre-defined route set, is it possible to hear
intersections as you approach them, without hearing POI information?
With look-around mode on, it seems that intersections and POIS are
reported, but with look-around off, intersections are reported only with
the X or chord X commands. What am I missing?

Second question -- am I allowed two for one? <grin>

Is it possible to set the distance for POI look-up to less than one
mile? I assume that when you set the starting and ending distance to 0
and 1, that means within one mile. In a city like Washington, DC, that
can still be a lot of POIS reported. I do realize that you can limit the
search by category, but I would like to look around on say a particular
block or two or between two addresses, if that's possible.

Thanks so much for sharing your expertise.

Scott
