When I am walking, I want things as automated as possible.

I would very much like the option of eliminating the speed limitations
so that every intersection would be announced in a car.  I understand
the other methods outlined here, but they don't quite fit what I want.
The problem with X-Chord is the few second delay between when the chord
is issued and when the information is displayed.  I don't have the
intersection until after I want it.

Anyway, maybe a thought for the future.

There are a number of ways to hear about intersections:

1. When you have a route loaded, which means there is a waypoint at
every intersection, and you have detailed Route announcements turned on,
you will hear every intersection announced as you reach it.
Alternatively, you can hear only announcements at the turning
intersections by switching to turns only.

2. Whenever you approach an intersection, it will automatically announce
if you are traveling under 15 miles per hour. The reason for this speed
limitation is so that you are not driven crazy in a vehicle where you
would hear intersections nonstop at higher speeds. When you stop at an
intersection however, you will hear the announcement within 12 seconds.

3. You can use multiple repeat of any command including Intersections at
whatever interval you wish. Just press M then X to hear the intersection
announced.

4. You can press X at any time to hear the nearest intersection. If you
are moving, you will hear the intersection ahead of you. If you are
stationary, you will hear the nearest intersection.

These options should give you plenty of options to fit most situations.
