Info request about wapoint anouncing
-
Hello,
In the "production" version of MRA Planner, waypoints only have two "text" fields:
- The waypoint name itself
- The additional notes field
This, along with the waypoint voice prompts, resulted in a set of "rules" that worked well:
- If the waypoint name contains only letters and punctuation marks, it is announced aloud.
- If the name contains any numbers, the waypoint is not announced.
- If the additional notes field is filled in, the waypoint is announced regardless of the contents of its name (name and notes, consecutively). This was useful for avoiding playing addresses (the default name) aloud, as they always contain numbers due to the postal code.
Now, if you're using the same app connected to MRA WebPlanner Next, you'll find that there are three fields:
- Waypoint name
- Waypoint address
- Additional notes
I've noticed that regardless of the content of the "Name" field, if it's filled in, it's always announced (even with just numbers), which I think is perfect, since we separate the name from the address, and I suppose if it's just an address without a name, it wouldn't be read.
Also, is there a "guide" or explanation indicating in what situations and when a waypoint is announced by audio? (Distances, field contents, etc.)
