It has turn-by-turn prompts, but does not have the text-to-speech feature, so it won't say street names.

Dorothy their is no such thing as Vfoice. I even googled it and nothing came up.Can you explain what problem your having?The Magellan 1424 will tell you when to make a turn and give you the street names.

It does announce the street names. You need to change the "Language" setting by touching the "tool" icon which I believe is a "wrench" shape after touching "I agree" when you turn on the GPS.The currency conversion is not updated automatically. You will need to update the rates yourself in the currency converter menu.The GPS is fine without the bells and whistles so the concentration is on the road.I believe you can figure out the functionality yourself without a manual. Just do trials.

There are specific strips for each unit The names need to match. I hope that helps. Then plug in the new number code tab.

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.

I bought the C550 from Amazon a week and a half ago. It came loaded with 2008 map software. I returned it for the nuvi 650, though, as I found the traffic and bluetooth features unnecessary, and liked the wide-screen of the nuvis better.

Traffic will not be present for all cities. If you are in an area that supports NAVTEQ FM traffic, your unit will pick up the FM band and an icon (showing one car overlapping another) should appear in the upper left-hand corner. The feature itself is automatic, but by touching the icon it will bring up a submenu for further exploration (if there is a traffic problem ahead). I suggest you go to gpsmagazine.com and read the review for the 765. It is very detailed and will explain the traffic function better than I.

I have no idea of any difference between 3-D and HD traffic updates. However, my traffic updates keep me current and in the know. I really like my 3590 GPS.

yes! The names appear in an alphabetical order. That is where names are attached to each entry. But if one adds only numbers of streets, which in most cases come before the names of the streets, these street names are equally alphabetically arranged.

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.

I have the same question. The road that shows on the menu bar is the next street you will be turning on. How can you get it to display the street you are presently on?

There is an 'up ahead' feature that displays on the right side of the screen. You can choose what to display (up to 3) and it shows (typically) next gas, next rest stop, next food (on your route). If you don't have a destination it won't display anything in this area. If there is a traffic issue ahead, that will display in this area instead but can be "X" closed if you wish.

Hi Jill,Thank you so much for this information. I was set on returning my Mio C520 because it didn't say the street name but the specifications mentioned that it did TTS. In any event, I am now keeping it. I was thinking about the Nuvi 250W with less features and more money, but I like the MIO C520 for the price. Thanks again.

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, recently used in south France. Found often used city center for address. Worked fairly well, many very small roads and seemed off the beaten track - although everyone I have spoken with says they were lost often. Not sure it was the devices fault.
