That was exactly the example one of the german developer used to explain the gps in a german podcast (I think it was Harald Welte in conversation with Chaos Radio). The idea is, that you save some points and adds information what to do there. So, a few meters around the cinema, the Neo switchtes to stand-by. Or if you are at school, it doesn't make any sounds. So, I think, it is quite realistic.
P.S.: I hope I posted it now right after creating a new thread every time before... On 7/2/07, Nick Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

As someone working in GIS - getting Point Of Interest data like that isn't as hard as you might think. The main problem would be that you're not going to have GPS reception indoors, so you won't neccessarially know when you're entering a cinema. :) -Nick Johnson
