Can someone tell me or point me a post where it explains how to add announcement to routes I make using Mapsourse. I am trying to use custom announcements like "sharp curve" "eating spot" ect. to my routes.

Create Waypoints

You didn't specify so I assume you have a GPSr that can handle routes and multiple waypoints.

The simplest thing I can think of is to create a waypoint at the announcement point. The waypoint name will be announced by the GPSr.

Remember that each name can only be used once.

Thanks I guess I forgot to

Thanks I guess I forgot to mention I have a Nuvi 760. I will make a test route this evening and give it a try. I don't know if it will work but I would like to change the properties of the way point and see if it will speak the change. Instead of saying address I would like for it to say "Jenny's Restaurant" instead.

I am making routes for a car club I am in and I have no problem making them in Mapsourse except I would like to add things like "sharp curve ahead" ect. to my routes.

Thanks again for your help.
