While I don't personally use modRana (currently on Navit), I just want to say, while I agree with Skykooler's ideas - make them optional, and selectable in settings. Some people might like the precision of it announcing the exact distance at announcement, instead of the triggering callout amount. Same for the aesthetic thing - different people will have different preferences for what the way they want to hear numbers said. (Last I checked, not all of the English speaking world likes saying numbers in the above mentioned technically-gramatically-wrong manner.)
