Diane,
We have tried to assign the most popular commands to a single key. The keys for
setting things are assigned to double keystrokes like Control S to set and
address. Next intersection is X, nearest POI is P and so forth. You can also
assign your favorite items to the multiple repeat key and thsoe things will
trigger every 12 seconds or however long you want. You can also get those
favorite commands to only trigger if you stop, like at an intersection. We have
tried to find the right blend of telling what you need to hear but not
blitthering on all the time.
