GPS S&T

The 2010 Streets Trips is on board. An improvement but continues
disagreeing. One lobe would be wonderful.
Failing one lobe, 2010 is not what it could be.
When on the road after stationary setup where mobile coupons print
save email buttons are more or less not in the way when on the road
those useless buttons ARE IN THE WAY so let’s develop a way to
eliminate useless buttons.
When on the road what matters is ‘recalculate route to current
destination.’ At the stoplight, press the spacebar and heyheyhey! A
new route calculation. PRESS THE SPACE BAR.
You can understand here why Microsoft developed a history for not
getting ahead of the curve past birth. PRESS THE SPACE BAR.
Not consult GPS after groping the coupons email and mobile buttons.
PRESS THE SPACE BAR.
The green, could be a lurid chartreuse or your choice as day-glow
orange red on white, ‘distance traveled to next maneuver’ should be
draggable and in this reviewer’s humble opinion is best viewed as a
10-15% wider vertical bar on screen left. With GPS pane sizeable down
15%
Where is the ‘mileage to go’ to go ? Under the touch pad, behind the
door, AT TOP LEFT CORNER DISPLACING THE CRITICAL LAT LONG SPEED and
the adjacent buttons more or less useless in transit. The mileage to
go could pulse with a color blip as the mile units roll down to less
than a mile.
In transit, the complete bar setup is useless. Better with SPACEBAR
and four squares maybe your color choice, size, on a transparent drag
able block. Maybe one larger separate then 3 in a triangle. The larger
is a SPACEBAR button ‘recalculate new route from position,’ the
triangle is map size +, -, and ‘back to the former map size.’
The slider is dumb enough but CLICKING THE SLIDER accidently ( missed
the tiny tiny + , when slider is midscreen at 85 mph sends it back
into the upper bar area. Oh no ! Tell me why ?
Like DSOM screaming.
PRESS THE SPACE BAR ! moat moat…
There’s a key short cut for ‘recalculate route from position,’ right ?
I can construct a Braille spacebar over the shortcut.

LOCAL NOISE suggests "with all the addresses there's not room left on
the disc"

after considerable thought, we consider probabilties for MicroS
placing trip bar and mileage to go on screen bottom and screen left AS
AN ACCIDENT REDUCTION MECHANISM !

given MicroS concerns for humanities well being, what other possible
reasons are there ?

agree ?

Anyone notice the whole problem ? Or does the whole problem exist ?

Given the vast database, holes are possible as a slightly misplaced
routing point, off the highway a hundred yards near Weir Canyon Park
will read 241 but dwell in a hole where the program flips a coin
sending the route into Weir Canyon not down the 241 turnoff from 91.

Unknown until we arrived before the turnoff.

Enhances the unergonomic and dangerous misplaced mileage counter
bottom left not top right where it was intended.

Riverside Highway directions from Pomona an example of the mileage
readings importance. Highway signs and Navigation instructions mingle
the route - not Riverside Highway - with Riverside Highway leaving
only the mileage counter as the last word: invisible bottom left.

Are there different Navigation instructions for 'map centered,' 'map
follows route', and 'navigation' view ? Or was it the hole effect ?
After the hole, suggestion to bear left not right went missing.
