Street Name Announcer
This plugin is a quick spin off of the Song Announcer which has been adapted to say the next street name instead.
Whenever you set a route with Destinator it will read the name of the upcoming street and announce it in the customisable format, as well as the distance to the street if you wish.
It would be fantastic if I could have it say the direction of hte turn as well but I cannot get that information with the current API.
There are only two key words for the announcement:
%street - the next street name
%distance - the distance to the next street
At the moment it will avoid repeating the same name of the street. It will only make the announcement when the name of the next street changes (hopefully... this hasn't been tested yet). Also, this plugin may be open to the repeating announcement problem which came up with the Song announcer as I couldn't use the same fix, but I am yet to experience it.
This is a non-GUI plugin but it does include the option of a button for fast turn enable/disable, exactly like the Song Announcer.
Feedback is always welcome, I'd love to expand on the features if anyone can think of anything cool.
Note: This plugin is best suited for use where the navigator's voice is turned off.
