The automatic announcement of Points of Interest and other events are controlled by the LookAround menu. If you do not wish to hear points announced you can turn them off in this menu. The LookAround menu has other items to configure. For example you can turn on/off the announcement of a city change or street change. To open the LookAround menu: BrailleNote BT/PK: Press space with M. BrailleNote QT: Press READ with M. Sense Navigation: Press ENTER with M or BACKSPACE with L. Hope you find this tip helpful.
