Updates in this release:

o Turn Announcements
§ This controls the three voice prompts for upcoming turns. Note that not all three are used in all cases depending on the distance to the turn.
o Turn View Distance
§ Set the distance at which the map will automatically zoom into a close up view of your upcoming turn. Note that if you are in 3D map view, with Auto Zoom on, this is not needed, so it is turned off.

§ This allows you to set the distance that the junction view screen appears from a freeway split, or exit.
· Fuel Log has been enhanced to allow entry of odometer information to calculate fuel economy. The nearest fuel station is also prefilled, but can be overridden.
