Do the turn-by-turn instructions include SPOKEN STREET NAMES, as in "Turn left on Hillside Rd. in .5 miles", or just "Turn left in .5 miles"?

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.

Heather, as I wrote earlier, there are two English voices, pick English Samantha, and not English Michelle.

My experience is that the maps are very accurate in rural areas. Right down to the dirt roads. There are some problems you should be aware of though. Many times the road names are not the ones used locally. The road sign may say Snake Creek Rd while the GPS says County Road 317. That can make things a llittle confusing. Find make not work well for rural addresses (largely due to the problem above, but there seems to be a little more to it than that.)

I think the C530 speaks the names of the street that you are supposed to turn on, "right on main street". The C330 just says "turn right or keep left".

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?

From the Manual:When you are navigating a route, you can view allof the turns and maneuvers for your entire routeand the distance between turns.1 Select the text bar on the top of the map.2 Select a turn.The details for the turn appear. If available,an image of the junction appears forjunction on major roadways.

Yes you can and the instructions are in the software, but it doesn't give you turn by turn, just arrow indicating where you are and when the turn is coming up.

Actually, it's a chime. Any time it directs you to change direction there is a unique chime. One for u-turn, one for right turn, one for left turn, and one for continue straight ahead (when in a situation where the road divides).

in most cases it all depends on the voice settings of the GPS. Only certains voices will say the street names. Check the voice settings

I did the update, went smooth. Do you know is there is a comprehensive list of what was fixed/updated?I have some issues driving on a divided highway (Dale Mabry in Tampa) when you go by all the turn lanes between median, the gps tells you to "stay right ahead", every half mile or so, very annoying and not needed. I am already on the road I should be on. Any word on the volume, I have sebring convertible, with the top up it is noisier than the average car, really can't even hear the gps.

no. There are no street name announcements in the 200 or 250. Look at the nuvi 260 and nuvi 350.

Yes. It goes ding-dong for a right turn, and dong- ding for left. For me, this is perfect.

The Garmin 800 does give similar directions to your car GPS...no voice commands but it does give an audible beep to warn you of upcoming turns. A friend who has used the Garmin on his bike for years gave me the tip to set the field in one of the windows "Time To Next" which gives you an idea of the next turn and also avoids turning on a street that may be near the actual turn. Also, remember to keep your eye on the road more than on the Garmin.

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 the spoken street names are available only with certain voices - the ones labeled computer

The C340 has "full" spoken directions as well. It will read the street names and exit numbers to you.The C330 only tells you to "turn left" and so on, although it does display the names/exits at the top.

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.

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