[gps-talkusers] speaking passing cross streets. and a tease

Intersections are not currently announced automatically over 15 miles per hour 
unless a route is loaded and details are turned on.

Thanks for everyone's input. As Charles indicated, we will have a cross streets 
only option in the next release and we will retain the current functionality as 
well. 

It has been great having this list and the chat room to learn what user's 
priorities are. As you know from the dozens of features we add with each 
release, we take your input very seriously and have since we released the 
laptop version in March 2000.

We have another really neat idea for involving users in the feature decisions 
for the next version. Once our team sorts out the details, we will let you 
know. How about that for a tease? No, don't answer me, just stay tuned.

Mike
