Default Associate Sound Bite with NAV Location

I discovered you can associate a sound bite with a NAV location similar to how you associate an icon to a location. You can further limit the sound being played if you approach the location from a specific direction.
It's cool to hear a "ding dong" when you arrive home but I don't see any practical use for this feature.
Anyone found a real reason you might want to associate a sound bite with a NAV location?
Tnx.

Default Re: Associate Sound Bite with NAV Location

I could think of many uses for associating sound to location, which I was not aware of btw, is this 5.1 or 6.1 firmware? For example you could mark speed traps, red light cameras, known cops hangouts or busy intersections. Same goes for potholes, road construction, rest areas, decision points for alternate road, inexpensive gas station etc. Should I go on? Good find.

I'm 5.1.
Thanks for the suggestions.
The resolution is not precise. I get the sound about 2 blocks before arriving at the actual location. But the warning location is very repeatable.
