I regularly use the Look Around app when on the bus to hear what intersection I am at. Sometimes if I have repeatedly pressed the nearest Cross Street button I will get several announcements, but most of the time the street is announced only once. I find that I get the nearest cross street a bit quicker than the Look Around button or the nearest 5 points of interest. I suppose because it is just looking for the current intersection and not the other information.
