Hello Mark,
It should work unless you have intersections turned off (which I doubt you
have done).  To check it would be under Lookaround and have Intersections
turned on (Announce Under 15 MPH).  The current software doesn't announce
intersections above 15 MPH but this will change as Mike has stated in a
future update.

Mike experienced a similar problem with his iPhone 4S that intersections
were not coming up, but when came back from the UK the intersections started
working again for him.  You may want to try to see if a wifi connection
helps get your intersections working on your location screen.  Just point
the phone towards an intersection and after a few seconds the data should be
downloaded from the server.

If you still have issues please try sending us your logs with the title no
intersections, and tell us also what iPhone and what iOS you are running.

Does anyone else have issues where they are not getting intersections at
all?
Thanks.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Another Question About Intersections

Hello Mike, et al, 

Thank you for the welcome.  

I set a route on the app yesterday and it performed marvelously.  

However, generally speaking, I don't use routes, opting instead to just
launch the app and walk/ride.  

Am I correct in assuming that the app is supposed to announce upcoming
intersections as I move along a street?  

Not to cast stones but this was the case in Mobile Geo and is the case on
the Trekker Breeze.  

Try as I might, I cannot get the app to automatically announce upcoming
intersections on my iPhone 4 S.  

If there are specific steps I need to take in order to get this to happen,
please let me know.  

Presently, what I do is:

1.
Launch the app.

2.
Make sure the location tab is selected.  

Also, I have tried walking with the look-around wand both turned on and
turned off with no difference in performance.  

Is there some area on the screen I'm supposed to activate in order to have
auto intersection announcements?

Thanks for any help on this.

Mark

Welcome Mark.
Ok guys, we don't normally preannounce things but I can confidently say that
the intersection announcement feature has been fixed above 15 MPH. You
additionally can set the limit at 40 MPH or always. Same for POIs. I tested
it yesterday in a beta and it is working as expected.

And no, I can't say yet when this version will be released. We hope quite
soon.

Mike

Hello,

This is Mark Taylor.

I just purchased Seeing Eye GPS for my iPhone 4 S.

I launched the program, configured the settings and took the app out for a
test spin/walk.  

I did not set a route destination, I just started walking down the street.
To my dismay, the app did not automatically announce upcoming intersections.


I live in southern California in a major city so I know the area is well
mapped.  

Later, I got into a car and attempted to set the announce intersection
option to something greater than 15 miles per hour but was unable to change
it.  

Am I missing something?  

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.  

Thank you,

Mark
