Would like to hear verbal announcements when the speed limit changes.

Do not give me verbal directions on my normal home or work trips unless the suggested trip deviates from the normal drive between to points such as home and work. I know the way to work and home. Please only give verbal suggestions if the best drive there would be better due to some other traffic that would delay the trip.

I also don't need a reminder 200 feet away from an intersection and then another as I get there. Sometimes these announcements are only 5 seconds apart. It is unnecessary and redundant.

Most of my driving is very routine. On a longer trip that may require re-fueling, I would like to see potential gas stations along my route with distance to the next two gas stops along my route. I try to minimize the quantity of stops and would make a decision about getting gas based on the next two available exits for getting gas. I would see this as potentially a pay per trip option for maybe $3 per trip. I would gladly pay this.

Any thoughts?
