somehow people believe that POI announcements at higher speeds will
yield more information faster. I used the Seeing Eye app last week
when I went from my office in the Loop to my dentist's office on
Chicago's North Michigan Avenue, one of the most storied and popular
retail destinations in North America. There were more POIs than what
the app could announce along with the names of streets. The app spoke
only the POI where the end user was, even if he had walked past five
other POIs in the time between announcements. It also spoke POIs on
both sides of the street, which was a slight annoyance. In an
upcoming review of the ap, I will describe how this possibly negative
functionality can be extremely helpful in what in the past has been a
difficult traveling environment.
Receiving POI information at higher speeds will mean end users will
obtain fragments of POI data and the app will miss many locations
between the 15 second intervals. Default should be at less than 15 MPH
or less than 25 KPH, for those in the rest of the world not using
Imperial measurements.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] auto announce speed for POIs
As I indicated, intersections will be able to be announced always, under 15
miles per hour or under 40 miles per hour, which will be the default.
What about auto announcement of POIs. Do we want them under 15, under 40 or
always? It seems most straight forward to set them the same as
intersections.
One thing to consider is that when you are following a route and/or when
you
are in a vehicle traveling at 35 miles per hour, there can be a lot of
chatter if intersections and POIs are triggering.
For those of you who know our other products, we handle LookAround
information differently when a route is active verses when there is no
route
running. This is the ideal solution but for now, we need to choose the
default for POIs.
