@Tom-Grzelinski, I suppose your navigation voice is not set to a woman?
Yeah I use it the same way you do, but always try to keep the message short.
Behold you can lose a navigation instruction when your note keeps babbling though.

Notes in shaping points are displayed and read aloud at 750 metres before the location of the shaping point. For via points, the notes are displayed and read aloud at 2 kilometres before the location of the via point.

Absolutely true, but only if there is no other route point in between.

Indeed.
And there lay my problem. For many of my routes 750 meters and especially 2 kilometers is a long distance. I have many routes where the distance between two points is a lot less (i don't like those long stretches).
When starting at 750 meters the text is already gone and maybe even forgotten before i reach the waypoint. I my opinion 300 meters before (maybe even less is more than enough).

You Beauty Con! That's valuable information!

That's great to know

@M.-Schrijver, in your case that's easily solved by placing a shaping point 300mtrs in front of the babbling point . I bet those same 300mtrs are not enough for Tom if he wants the length of the notes be longer.
