The ability to turn on/off LookAround Street announcements has 
been around
since 4.0. To get into the LookAround Settings, it is SPACE with 
M on the BT

and READ with M on the QT.

Hi Zack,
I don't think that the point. If streets are close enough to 
the

railway,
Sendero will think your on them, but this isn't really practical 
use

when

on a train.  However, setting your GPS to only announce the

Transportation
category will alert you to the train stop your approaching, if 
you

want
that much information. Other wise, just set the destination to 
the

stop
prior to the one you need and turn off all other notifications 
and

you
will get an alert when you need to get off. These are two 
practical

ways

to use GPS on a train.



Cheers,
Brett.

Hello fellow list members,
I just got off a railroad in the Albuquerque, NM area. I 
wanted

to

share my experiences with you regarding the previous weeks talk

about
using GPS on railroads. Basically, what I think: The GPS turned 
out
accurate half of the time; the other half it still showed that I 
was

on
neighboring streets or near "unnamed." I even recorded some of 
the

route

with the Mpower, but it was not as clear as I hoped it to be.



Have a good rest of the week
