Hi Bob,

The m is a toggle and turns on/off automatic announcements.  If you just want 
an announcement given when you press x, turn automatic announcements 
off.  If you want the streets announced every few seconds, turn the automatic 
announcements on.  Then, after you press x or whatever command you want 
repeated one time, it will be automatically announced every few seconds until 
you turn it off.  Remember, there is an option to adjust the time intervals for 
the 
announcements.  

One thing I did notice is that it's easy to have both streets and 
points-of-interests announced automatically.  This can get confusing if there 
are a lot of 
points-of-interest, and the announcements can tend to cut each other off, 
especially if you're traveling in a car.  I believe the command to turn off 
automatic 
announcements of poi's is control-p,so you may want to play around with this a 
bit to find out what works best for you in your environment.

You can get information overload sometimes, but all in all, I really like the 
automatic announcements.

Don

Hi,
Does one keep punching in mx or is once enough for calling out streets?
