| Sounds about right to me, if your 10 yards from the destination when it tells you then it's a bit late if your driving at 30 MPH. |

That depends very much on what you used as your destination? A PostCode, house number, point on map etc? Either way, 150 yards sounds about right given that the announcement is given before the true arrival point to allow you time to stop!

Postcodes often cover a length of road more than 150 yds long. Your experience sounds about right to me, including enough stopping time.
