[gps-talkusers] Re: Repeat commands and user POIs

X for intersections is helpful at times, especailly when on a bus or train.

  Eric, 

  Everyone is different in the type of  information that they would like 
repeated every so often. I personally don't use the Multiple Repeat Commands. I 
rather trigger them manually by using the one-handed keystrokes. But, the type 
of things that I will trigger are A for Nearest Adddress, H for Heading, X for 
Cross-Street, D for Destination and T for Next Turn if there is a route open. 
Please  refer to the Quick Reference Guide for the BT Duplicate Keystrokes.

  What one considers being counter-productive and one may consider being useful 
is very subjective. I am personally of the type htat I will Record a User POI 
at the front door of almost every building I visit, Bus Stops and significant 
landmarks. I have submitted well over 1,000user POIs since I  started using the 
Sendero GPs over two and a half years ago.

  On the few occasions when I've tried using my sense nav in an unfamiliar 
area, I never used any of the auto-repeat commands.  However I think for my 
trip to NYC I will try using them.  What information do others have repeated 
every 10 or 15 seconds in an unfamiliar area?  What about a familiar area?


  Also, while I was listening to the Sendero tutorial, I noticed the instructor 
created a user POI when the sidewalk sloped down.  It seems like creating a 
user POI for every change in the terrain or obsticle in the sidewalk would be 
counterproductive.  When I'm on my college campus, I don't even use the GPS 
most of the time since it doesn't know the campus.  How often do you create 
user POIs?

  Eric
