Scott, If you only wish to hear information about intersections, first press SPACE with M to turn off look around. You can then use the repeat command by pressing M, then press the letter X to have intersections repeated. As to the second question. If you press enter without typing a value into the beginning distance prompt, the default is 0 miles. If you enter no value for the ending distance, the default is .25 miles or 1 quarter of a mile. See the section in the manual titled "Advanced POI Search".

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
