Hi Kevin, I have experienced this when following a vehicle route. We were
going down a street then the route directed us to turn left then immediately
left again thus going back the other way on the street we were currently on.
Because of that, I asked if the street had an island in the middle and got the
reply that, yes it did. So in most cases, the system is smarter then we give
it credit. Jim

This is an issue due to "split" streets. A street can be "split" physically
by a median strip, an item that is just in the map or some other element that
makes the street be a "split". If a street is "split," and you are on the right
side of this split, you will only hear about the street(s) [x or space/read
with x] that is to the right and addresses that are on the right (space/read
with c). In order to hear about the streets and addresses on the left, you must
move pass this split, make a left, move forward (10-50 feet) by using the move
forward command and make a left and you will now be on the other side of this
split. This sounds complicated but think about it as a wall that is splitting
the road in half from the left and right side, you must move pass this wall to
explore the items on the other side.

Hi,
As I explore in virtual mode along a street near my house, I find that
gps only announces the streets on one side of the street: it either announces
the streets on the right, or, if I can sort of turn left, then right, then left
again, it will start indeed announcing the streets on the left, the opposite
side of the street. It's almost as if I have to have crossed the main street
for gps to start announcing the streets on that side of the main street, but
then it's not announcing the streets on the right anymore. Is there a way to
get gps to announce all intersecting streets both right and left? Thanks
Alice
