I'm a little unsure of this). Since the plugin is closed source, we can't change that, but the javascript file can be changed.

In terms of changes, I've thought about maybe finding the distance between the new turn images/signal that came with PR1.2 and the current position. And if its within a certain distance, maybe play a sound or something. The issue is though if we go off the track, it won't recalculate the route, which at the moment is more annoying than no voice
It might be a good idea to investigate that. But, as I mentioned earlier Mappero seems to work quite well, though it isn't as refined as Ovi Maps, the ability to use Google Maps gives it quite a lot of flexibility.
