Can you increase the volume of spoken street names

Not sure why your question is specific to the spoken street names. The overall volume on mine is uniform throughout the announcements regardless of what is being said therefore my answer would be no. If it's too soft I turn it up and visa versa. There's no one control to emphasize the volume of just the street names over the turn suggestions, distance in feet, lane changes, etc. I'm sure you already know this but to adjust the volume level, tap the left-hand section of the status bar in the Driving View.

No. But my friend has the one that does, and I notice it pronounces street names poorly, so I don't think its a huge advantage. The 330 will display the street name for the next turn, on at top of screen, thats good enough for me.

Ok thanks. I thought mine was broken since I set its preferences to Avoid U-Turns and it was still telling me to "make a U-turn". For some reason it does not have oneway street info for at least two cities here in Oregon with populations over 12000.

I live here in Miami and so far it's only been turn by turn, no street names. Also, while the GPS talks, your music mutes but keeps playing through. It's kinda annoying.

Use settings | Locale. Several of the voices are marked "TTS". Those, and only those, speak street names.The unit comes from the factory with the voice set to "Jill". None of them sounds really pleasant -- the speakers are not great -- but all the TTS voices seem reasonably understandable.-dk

Tried deleting non-English voices to make more space, but it didn't work for me. Still getting error messages while updating. This is a serious hardware problem (lack of sufficient memory to install updates). If it updates the map, there is no space for the application, and vice-versa. This is ridiculous!!

I did not hear the TomTom say street names, all I heard was you have reached your destination. But I did not change any settings or upgrade any features because there would be an additional fee.

Hi Heather, Some of the "voices" do say the street names, and some don't. For example, "English Samantha" does say the street names like take next left on Hillside, but if you switch the speaking voice to "English Michelle", she does not say the street names. She just says take next left.

You should make sure that the voice that you have selected has the letters (TTS) after it. If not, then no street names will be pronounced. Tools&gt;Settings&gt;Language&gt;Voice

Text to speech is the ability to announce the street names. Like "turn left at elm street", instead of "turn left in .1 miles".I had a 360 which went bad after a couple years, the built-in antenna became defective. A known issue with that series. Was able to fix it by adding a cheap external antenna. I know this is a very late post, but both the 300 series and units like the 250W are very obsolete. Should be looking at units like the 255W or 265W, or 1300 or 1400 series at this point.

As you are first entering any street name do not try to enter N, S, E or W nor enter Rd, Ln, or the like. Once you get the address number entered on the following screen the unit will provide you with a list of several different street names for that city with the additional information you did not enter such as the N, S, E, W, Rd, Ln etc., and then you touch the appropriate one/box to select it. The unit then enters the full address. If you try to put in more than the basic street information that is offered as you go along adding letters to the street name, the unit gets confused. Hope that helps in case you have not yet worked with it sufficiently to find out how that works - - -

Yes the GPS announce the street names after you update the system by contacting manufacture tech support, they will ask for your unit serial number to verify your purchase, then will send you a microSD card with the TTS voice files, follow the instructions, you copy and paste the files into your GPS microSD card on computer, the TTS Pro function will be enabled, you can select those TTS voice files to read the street names. I recently updated it and now I have some voices which speak the street names, very happy with it.

Yes. You can read the street names - almost better on the B/W printed version than on the color screen.

Not sure, but I don't see why not. I love the loudness of this. I use it when I think people aren't paying attention, and may turn in front of me.I honk at people along the street, and they look around wondering where that came from :-).Ed

Go to: Tools > Settings > Language > Voices: Check the voice (there may be several) that has TTS (text-to-speech) after its name (or says, "speaks street names").The error messages sounds like a Garmin problem. Contact them by phone.
