FYI, I followed dead_orc's advice here ... and I have now got eSpeak talking over music in modRana. The only issue is that the overall volume jumps quite high (both music + synthesised speech) for the duration of the eSpeak output, but there's probably a simple fix for it somewhere & I can live with it "as is" no problem.
It would probably be a bit complex to check the direction of travel against the step one should be on to see if you are actually on the route between step 1 and 2 on a reroute and thus have it switch to step 2 automatically.
Yes. For instance, when i first fired it up i thought the blue boxes were buttons that should be clickable and do what they say on them. I thought they were just buttons that hadn't yet been implemented since they didn't do anything when i clicked them, and didn't seem to change when i hit "save a track log". Knowing the difference between saving and activating a track would be helpful in this regard to new users.
Cool. I just thought of another one: Is there a way to easily pull up the reverse directions? Now, my memory is pretty good, and i am not bad at retracing where i have been, but a "reverse route" button somewhere would be handy.
Side note: I hit the "activate all tracks" button (as button mashing is my primary means of learning how things work), and then when i exited to the map all of the buttons were gone and i had to kill the program from the power switch as it was non-interactable. And since then the screen is only black when i load the program. Any suggestions on how to get the screen back and the program usable again without having to purge-reinstall?

1> Is there any way to save the current location (or enter a searched for location) as a POI? I know if I search for a place, like a bar or a restaurant, I can save that as a POI. But if I search for an address, or want to record my current location as a POI, there seems to not be a way to do it.
2> Is there a way to specify a filter for eSpeak? I could put one in myself I suppose by making eSpeak a script that filters it's input and feeds it to the real eSpeak executable... but that's kind of hackish. I'm just a little distracted by "Turn right on Main Saint" and "Turn left on to Hickory Doctor" (for Main St. and Hickory Dr. accordingly. Having a way to pre-filter the speech just for modRana would be best, since sometimes I'll want Dr. to mean Doctor (like when announcing a caller).
