Navigation voice prompts

I have found that the voice prompts are too frequent when approaching a turn. For example, while navigating a "Circle" I will get a continuous speel from destinator along the lines of:
"Continue driving around the roundabout second exit 500 yards continue driving around the roundabout second exit 200 yards continue driving around the roundabout second exit" With no pause.

1. The speech order is messed up and missing words
2. There are too many prompts
3. The last prompt is often too late

I would much prefer to hear a prompt at 500 yards/ meters, and 100 yards meters.

e.g. "In five hundred yards take the second exit at the roundabout"
Then "Just ahead take the second exit at the roundabout"

Can the distance prompts be adjusted/ turned on and off?

Is there a way to change the voice folder from within centrafuse? I'd quite like to have some other voices to choose between where I didn't have to manually edit the ini file... Or maybe I missed a setting?

Take a look at DestinatorVoiceManeuvers.inf in the Voice\All folder

You can REM out the distances you don't need with // in front of them

eg.
//::MC,TURN_LEFT*FIRST_DISTANCE,0,0,t_l;3*2;UNITS,"I n UNITS Turn left"
::MC,TURN_LEFT*SECOND_DISTANCE,0,0,t_l;500;UNITS," In five hundred UNITS Turn left"
//::MC,TURN_LEFT*THIRD_DISTANCE,0,0,t_l;200;UNITS,"I n two hundred UNITS Turn left"
::MC,TURN_LEFT*FOURTH_DISTANCE,0,0,t_l,"Turn left"


gives you prompts at 500 yeards and at the turn
