Does the GPS only provide Turn by Turn directions or does it have spoken street names?

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.

Yes, gives you both.. GPS is actually quite good, didn't expect that. But I guess finding updated maps is not easy? If I ever run into anything that won't navigate then I just go to my Galaxy S4 with Waze or whatever... It works almost all the time for me. It's a very nice unit for the price.. I was a little skeptical on a PA system like this but the sound is very good, bluetooth works flawless (phone and streaming Pandora, Slacker, music player, etc), playing movies (AVI mostly).. Video quality is excellent. Most pro installers will charge you a lot to put this in because they are not use to it, plain and simple. It's not hard at all but I would recommend installing yourself. I had to cut a slightly larger hole where my old Pioneer Avic-1 was installed.

After route is planned, you can click on "details" then " browse as text " and you will receive turn by turn directions. You also have 4 other options. I hope this helps you.

No it does not do navigation. It has gps that give location on video. The only problem i have had is that you have keep resetting the time and date. Otherwise its great

I had two Garmins. I changed to TomTom get the free maps. I am so disappointed. It said I could get street names announced. but I have never been able to do that. It just states go right in 300 feet. There might be 5 right turns within that distance which I have to guess. It gives me a choice of about 5 people and none give street names although someone said I have to get Betty and the machine says "You have chosen a voice which does not give street names". Wish I could I have tried all of them. Next one will be a Garmin again. When new maps are needed, I can just get a new one for nearly the same price. I had two Garmins.

No, it does not give you directions. However it will show a map where it was last located.

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.

It supposedly does but it is not clear how accurate the traffic is. Sometimes it says lots of traffic and it's fine. All in all this GPS is so disappointing and now sitting in my closet. Not good.

Yes it does it walks you right to where you are going.It warns you ahead of time for your up-coming turns. I tis a great GPS. It well worth the money.

Not sure, my gps does not work right. It gives directions in reverse. Don't buy this gps....not worth it.

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.

Since you have purchase this item, can you tell me if directions are also given by voice?

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.

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.

No it does not have GPS. If you have Gps on a cell it will only play the audio.

It doesn't announce street names, there are several voice choices but with each option it states directions only, no street names

No this unit does not serve as GPS for directions (like you would have on a phone or a stand alone GPS). The GPS built within this unit allows for tracking where your vehicle is at in real time relative to fixed red light cameras , speed traps and also displays the current true speed of the vehicle.
