Hi,
different settings are used in different situations. Personally I
love all of the LookAround stuff on even in a car, it gives me an
image of buildings I'm passing and can then converse with other
passengers>
The distances increase themselves. when in a car going 30 to 40 mph I
will get the approaching turn message around 0.3 miles out where when
I am walking the approaching turn message is 250 feet.
These numbers are using the default of 50 feet.
I sometimes like intersections repeating, I also like turns repeating
Hope this helps.
Chris
