[gps-talkusers] e: Re: e: Earthmate receivers

Hello,
I have found that occassionally, it will start telling me side streets instead 
of the street that I am on and announceing the cross streets as we approach 
them.  But most of the time, it stays on track with the street I am on and 
announcing the cross streets usually about 50 or so ft before we get to it.
If I find that it is announcing the cross streets when I am going along a 
particular street, I back out to the main menu, and go back the the gps again.
Hope this helps.
Robert
