I understand the whole clock concept, but I prefer left right ahead for intersections myself... I agree that it should be an option in case people want to change from clock orientation.


We're all different, and we should all have the option to make it work the way we're most comfortable if it can be done.

I disagree.
A clock face is a standard that anyone can, and should understand.
Next you'll be saying people won't need to know their left from their right. Which, sadly, is true in too many cases.

Interesting, I hadn't thought of it before now but with fewer people using Braille, braille watches and clocks and only hearing talking time, ordinal clock positions will increasingly become redundant, probably more so for the blind who don't get the visual reinforcement of all the installed base of church and tower and other public analog clocks.

New methods of description of food placement on dishes for those who prefer knowing that sort of thing will also need to be developed and taught to the general population.

Who'd a thunk it?

Well those of us who use compus and clock as a navigation tool like it
better and it works better then ahead left and right because ahead and left and right just give you a 12:00 clock and a 9:00 and 3:00 and nothing els so
if the street is at a angle you do not know

Hey everyone, perhaps this is already on the list of ideas, but if not,
I have a suggestion. Provide an option for indicating intersection
locations by saying ahead or left or right, I have never really found
the clock descriptions in a GPS program useful.
