Some of the voices do. But some do not. Be sure to select the correct voice in order to have the street names mentioned.

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.

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.

Does the Garmin 250 or 200 come with Street name announcements, or just "right & left turn now?" Is the voice annoying? Henry

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 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.

It says whatever caller id indicates. If a name, it will say a name. If only a number it will say the number

I got it. Thank you very much.BTW, I must say the street names from the computer generated voice is very bad. It seems that there is not enough time for the name of the road is spoken out before the "road", "avenue", etc starting to cutting in.

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.

Good to hear that those instructions worked out -- I should be able to figure out what is going on w/ the cut-off speech of the street names.Can you tell me if your TomTom is cutting off only some of the street names, or is this happening with all street names?

It does SHOW the name/number for a call-waiting incoming call. However, the talking caller ID only announces when it's the first call not a call-waiting.

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 display street names, only the main ones and even then, very few. It does display the street you are on and the directions are very clear and repetitive, though. Oddly, I live in South Florida and it does show the name of every single canal and lake. I have no idea why the software developers thought those would be of high interest to the user and not the detailed names of the streets. It does come preloaded with mapping software, and you get one free upgrade with Garmin within 30 days of registering the device with them. Hope this helps, but you've probably already made your purchasing decision by now. No, it does not display street names, only the main ones and even then, very few.

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. It sticks to the basics like section for personal information of owner. Dates to Remember, emergency numbers and then the address pages. Each secition divider for the alphabetical listings does have a Quick Reference place front/back for names and phone numbers you might want to see at a glance in that section.
