  I agree with this option.  I find is sometimes more of a distraction to hear 
  the points of interest.  Even when I have that turned off.
  Today's Scripture

  "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not 
  see." (Hebrews 11:1)

  thanks Mike,
  I understand the dillemmas when something is suggested by one user.
  Therefore maybe others can jump in here.
  What I'm suggesting is a user selectable mode that can be used in vehicles
  that will just tell you street names as you get close or pass them.
  You don't need the name of the street your on repeated over and over, and in
  a bus when you are waiting for your street, you don't really need to know
  "right or left, you just need the street name. So I'm suggesting a setting
  that overrides the speed related change in announcements, plus more control
  over the verbosity.
  By the way, Since I use my GPS on a PK, this brief announce mode would be
  ideal for braille. I often run with speech off when in a car or bus.
  Thanks for listening Mike.

  Doug,

  Not sure why you think we have strongly resisted an announcement of the
  cross street only. This is the first request to my knowledge for that
  feature. We add these requests to our database and prioritize them based
  upon the number of user requests and the difficulty of implementing the
  feature.

  I personally think this is an excellent idea.

  Mike
