What is the default at the present time, As I'm waiting for the App, I am
having to do guess work to know what it is like now. Is it on 40 at the
moment? Or you can make POIS as consistent as the intersections and if people
don't like it, turn POIS off altogether. As Mary said, Intersections are the
most important as for me a good GPS is for the user to know what street is
coming up, what street you went past and what is on the left and right.
For me, a route is not so important but what is in front of me, behind me and
what is going to come.
I when switching for instance the Trekker on when I had it, or for GEO when I
had that was for me, not to put in routes but for me to know where I was at all
times so that if I had difficulty could explain to someone which street I was
on and what the next intersection was and what was to the left and right.
Kawal.
