Nav question
Hi all,
I just finished first 1000 miles on my new HCH-II, it is running really nicely. On a NJ to Mass round trip this weekend, hard to keep it below 65-70 mph, just plain dangerous, especially on the Mass Pike. Car still got 45 mpg.
I like the navigation system a lot. Seems to always give 3 warnings if possible on a turn, one at 1/2 mile, one at 1/4 mile and then one with 2 blocks to go; then the real turn itself. But I do miss one feature, I wonder if it is programmable into the navigation, sorry I am lazy about reading the manual about this: When it says 'turn left in 1/2 mile' I would love if it would add 'at Smith Street' -- so it would say 'turn left in 1/2 mile (or 1/4 mile or in 2 blocks) at Smith Street'. I now always glance down to see the street name, just a habit of knowing what street to look for on my previous system, which I liked. And the nav knows the street name, it is listed right there.
thanks,
Mark

Re: Nav question
I do not think I explained it well: I simply want it to say what it always says, but I want it to add this to the sentence: 'onto XYZ street' -- like when it says, "make the second right" I want it to say instead -- "make the second right onto Smith Street".

Re: Nav question
The nav system's diagnostic menu actually has settings to tweak the TTS synthesizer. You can do things like adjust pitch, tone, speed, etc of the voice.

Re: Nav question
I think I answered my own question from the hidden features thread. Hold down map-menu-cancel for 3 seconds. I will try it later today.

Re: Nav question
That's right. Have fun poking around in there, but use some caution as these screens are not meant to be seen by civilian eyes .
