has anyone found if maneuver:maneuver_at_endofstreet (something like that) is set? not found it so far, was wondering if its just not being set during assignment of the maneuver to aimaneuver. Source not handy so name might not be correct.

blaizzen: the config.xml file can announce distances based on its evaluation. if we can get the timetoannounce, distanceto/from etc. code working this should be simple replicate. In terms of street names, I have seen a value scattered around the translation code called ausestreetname, Not sure how its defined yet, only spotted it looking for something else. Might have some use to your code, so that it only announces street name if it has to.

jhb: thanks for the sox suggestion. had found "play" mentioned, which i think is a subset of sox. Haven't got as far as trying on device. The config file handling is missing a few bits at the moment in relation to points you raised. partly it is to do with the parser, partly its the rest of the code. The distance we are using is based on straight lines, rather than actual distance to travel IIRC.
