Each adjustment is also spoken. This could be annoying as there can be about 5 to 10 adjustment for each waypoint.

Would there be a way to reduce this or prevent the spoken adjustment.
Unfortunately no. The small adjustments are caused by the error angle exceeding 2 degrees. I set the time between updates as long as possible to prevent as many of these annoyances as possible. Any longer time degrades the navigation ability.

Thinking ahead I'm going to make another change to the Navigate_from_file command. I'm going to include a TITLE header in the files. This will let you define the name of the navigation script and the description will be just that - a description of what it does. This is for looking into the future of what I can do with this. Thus patch 3 will be releasing here soon.

EDIT:

I'm going to try something and send it to you for testing to see if it works or not. It deals with precision navigation or not....give me a little while to code it...
