Correct, my setting is for announcement „all“.
The Manual says, shaping points with digits will not be announced, when setting is on „all“ or need a text, a single word is enough, in the comment field.
Via points even when not the final destination will be announced all the time.
MRA has for me some nasty bad funcionalty here.
Reference is my Garmin.
In the past I used all the time on my Garmin Via points also for shaping and for me it was helpful respektive rather important that the via point which were at Garmin (and before on my Navigons) handled as a final destination with first announcemt about 1 Km before and repeated until reached like her MRA do so with the final destination too.
this practice confirmed me that I respectiv my Satnav follows the route as planed.
Later Garmin introduced shaping points, may due to the limit per Route of 49 Vias and request by users. These are now named Wp without alarm, mean no call.
What is now for me bad her at MRA.
If you use shaping points with text you get a call about 800 to 600 meters before you reach the SP on the map.
If you use a Viapoint for e.g. an interim Stop you got the call direct after passing the last SP only once and not anymore when you get closer and with a Countdown call like the final destination. The distance from the last SP to your interim can be 3, 6 or 10 kilometers
To get a call for an interim stop on time respective close to the point you have two possibilities. Set a SP about 1 km before the Viapoint.
Or split the route, so that the interim coffe stop get the final position.
If you like now for sample to have 3 Stops per day at different targets, a coffee break, a lunch, visit of a museum, you got three routes on your list, database
And this is (for me) nonsense.
Garmin starts at each WP with alarm automatically a new calculation to the next Via, the best way.
Apple Maps request a confirmation with a red button to continue very easily.
Google too, but with a bit confusing reaction and info.
