Voice announces street name, or not? Which is it?

According to the product comparison on Garmin's website the c530 does not announce street and point of interest names. You need to go to the c550 for that feature.

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

This model does work with typed in street addresses? I'm asking because the instructions don't say a word about that. I havent hooked it up yet. Thx

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.

Go to "Settings" menu, then "Sound and Warnings", then 'Voice Language". Select one of the voices labeled as "TTS Voice, street names announced". If you don't have any TTS Voice options listed then the TTS files are not installed on your unit. Ask the seller for them or search for them on one of the Internet forums, such as gpsunderground.

For the Nuvi 850...select Tools, Settings, Language, and under Voice Personality select a voice that has the notation "Speaks Street Names". For example I had chosen British English, which doesn't have the notation, so it doesn't call out the street names. I have since chosen Daniel-British English, which does have the notation and now calls out the street names.

Has anybody been able to download a voice to the XL 325 that will read the Street Names? My TomTom 930T reads Street Names and I find that very useful. THanks for your help.

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

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?

Thank you, John, for the suggestion. There apparently two different models: 325 and 325S. The 325S comes with the computer voice that reads the street names. I have not be able to download a computer voice to the 325 yet. If you have a suggestion I would welcome the help.

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.

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.

Like Bz stated once you contact Jensen and request the TTS update then your system will have voice for street names and you will be able to use the TTS PRO settings. I went to Jensen's website and used their chat now window. I told them I wanted TTS and they took my address and 6 days later they sent me a micro SD card with the update and instructions.

The phone does have caller announce. The only problem I have with the voice is that if the caller is listed as letters, such as USA the voice will read "yousa" as if it's a word. Also, some English words are pronounced strangely, in that Utah is pronounced "Oohtah".
