I'm not particularly worried about Navigate on Autopilot. I'd be happy if they just get Navigate to give you better warnings your turn is approaching. It is not uncommon that I get warning of a turn or exit a mile ahead which is a full minute from reaching it at 60 mph. With no other warnings the actual announcement that the turn or exit should be made often happens *after* it is too late to make the turn or exit. Some highway exits are very long these days with plenty of length to make the lane change but also with a very long portion where there is either a solid line or a curb or even a barrier between the exit and the main road. I can't tell you how many times the second and final warning of the exit happens after I have passed the lane change area and now have to either swerve across a solid white line or even a curb or barrier.
I've used many GPS devices before. I've never had one that gave such tardy announcements of turns.
I would also mention that I discovered the voice announcement for navigator doesn't play at all when you are using the phone. I found this out when I was on a long trip and called a friend to chat while driving only to find I had missed my turn. Perhaps some more attention getting display changes could be made when the voice prompt is off?
