As I use my GPS and Braille note PK, I keep thinking up more questions. It's easier to figure out things sitting in my easy chair, but when on the road, it's different.

1.  As I fumble around I have lost speech how do I get the pk talking again?

2. I was trying to create poi for bus stops. Entertaining myself while waiting. I got the dialog, but the poi was set around 100 feet from where I was standing. How do I snap this to my real position?

3. On the other hand, how do I go to a virtual position and create a user poi there?

4. Should I use user poi or a sub category, or put the poi in a place like bus/rail?

5. If I wanted to advocate with the transit company for the poi for Milwaukee county bus stops, what would I ask for? Data and format to be included.

6. With out being in a route, how do I get gps to tell me details about the intersection I am going to cross?
Streets and angles of crossing.

7. I can select poi categories to be automatically announced, but I have to select one or all. What if I want bars restaurants, and bus stops?

8. When entering a search string, I get every place with the string in the name or on the street with the name. is their a way around this? For example, I was getting off the bus at Townsend street school. By the time I decided and searched to make this an announced destination, I was already there.

9. I can make a vehicular or pedestrian route, but the bus has a mind of it's own. Can I record the route the bus makes, and save and open the route, the next time I go to the same or near-by destination?

The more I use this thing, the less I know.
I found the gas station, where they sell snickers bars, the bus stop, transfer point, and home. I also found a bakery and a pie shop. Not to bad.
