[Loadstone] question about "auto announce"

[Monty Lilburn]

Hello Miranda,

The purpose of the Auto-announce feature is to periotically announce your 
current position in relation to the checked-point you are approaching. 
This essentialy gives you a hands-free mode where you don't have to press 
the "select key" over and over.  Quite useful when walking and you don't 
have a free hand.  The feature tries to be inteligent so if you were quite 
far away from the approaching checked-point it wouldn't tell you as 
frequently!

\Best regards,
   Monty
