Route Avoidance:
This function allows is also centered on the idea of creating a GPS unit that can be customized around the user's specific needs.

If during certain times you do not want to follow the exact GPS direction, use route avoidance to steer clear of places you would rather not cross.
Speaks Street Names:
The Text to Speech Technology utilizes speech synthesis to convert written text into speech. Speech synthesis is known as the synthetic production of human language. The computer in your GPS system looks at upcoming street text, which is being displayed on the screen, and uses its internal synthesizer to pronounce those street names. These voice prompts allow you to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the steering wheel. Text to speech does not utilize pre-recorded, generic audio bits. This technology allows the GPS to deliver more detailed directions, which make navigating new areas much easier.
