Mine says major roads like bear right on I787. This unit has great features for the $$$.

It has turn-by-turn prompts, but does not have the text-to-speech feature, so it won't say street names.
1664255
the street to speech feature only works on major highways and some roads etc....

I have occasionally had the same problem. This one seems to have a delay. I have that problem, but not all the time... so I'm guessing there's a delay and you only hear it ring if the person doesn't pick up on the first ring or two (that's just a guess though.) I had the original Roadster and had no issues with it, but this second version constantly frustrates me because of the delay (more when answering calls than calling out.)

Watch for the "suffixes" on the Garmin Model Numbers to know what features they come with. For example, if you see "2757 LMT" that means that 2757 comes with Lifetime Maps & Traffic. If you see just "LM" without the "T," then it just comes with Lifetime Maps. Other Garmins without these exact suffixes will not have these features. I just bought a "2757 LM," & it does not come with Voice Command, but it does come with Lifetime Maps. I chose not to get Voice Command, because if I tell a tail-gater "exactly where to go" in traffic... I do not want my Garmin to take me there. : D Watch for the "suffixes" on the Garmin Model Numbers to know what features they come with.

Yes it does, in male, female, and different languages. If you are talking about giving turn by turn including street names, it only gives that in only one (the computer generated) voice. It will be in the instructions. hope this helps

The labeling is ridiculous. The cord that comes with the 265WT labelled BOX but with the 265W labelled GPS, appears to be the correct one that enables 'free traffic' updates. HOWEVER, you must see if traffic update is enabled in your area by going to NAVTEQ (http://www.navteq.com/rdstraffic/). And then it is often inconsistent. I live in central NJ and use to pick up the Philly tower while on Rte 195 West and kept it while then going north on the NJ turnpike. I no longer get the Philly connection and only sometimes in the Edison area do I pick up the 'Middlesex/NY" connection. It is rather disappointing, to say the least.) The labeling is ridiculous.

Thanks for the update, dsrussell. I'll take your advice and check out the review of the 765 that you mentioned at gpsmagazine.com. It's too bad that the folks at Garmin didn't include this info about the 765 in their owners manual. Must have been an oversight on their end. Again,thanks a bunch!

Thanks guys for the update. I ended up in buying nuvi 2460LMT and I liked voice command, bluetooth connection with my iphone4. I didn't like Jill's terrible voice and missing map details.When I cross speed limit then I see a blinking red notification on screen. Does you nuvi2460 LMT gives an audible warning when you cross speed limit?Thx

I was looking for and couldn't find a nextar P3 review either, but I ended up buying it anyway and I posted the review last night--just search the nextar P3 on amazon and it should be posted by now. Basically I think it's a great unit, but I've never owned a tom tom so I can't compare to that specifically. The nextar was super easy to setup and figure out as well.

Actually, I answered this question just a few minutes ago without realizing that I don't own THIS particular model (RV9165T-LM 7-inch RV). I own the Roadmate 4255-T (I think that's the model...may be the 4245). So I guess the voice prompts to make a turn being LATE (after the turn SHOULD have been made or after the turn was ALREADY made) is not a model specific problem...it's a Magellan issue in general!

The c530 does not have text to speech. Neither does the c330. They will not speak street names.

Yes, it will give spoken directions but not by street name: ie "Turn left in 200 feet" not "Turn left onto Baker street in 200 feet"

Hi Steve,I didn't update the maps and during my trip on the 4th of July weekend, I didn't need to as the navi was correct in all directions I went to. I will update on my next road trip to Seattle, WA. Hope that helps. Take care.RH

I don't know why people responded that there is voice recognition with the Nuvi 2557. I purchased because they said it did but it definitely NOES NOT HAVE VOICE RECOGNITION. I checked on the garmin site just to make sure and it confirms under "features and benefits" that there is no voice activated navigation. Now I need to decide if I'll keep this version. Wish amazon checked these answers as there were 6 answers saying yes, I thought it was accurate.

Does the TomTom 3rd have a Address Book where you can add the most common places you go (Favorites) and they will always be there. (Like Magellan Roadmates) If so are these stored in memory and lost if the battery goes down or turned completely off? I would use them for trips and putting in the info I want prior to leaving and then just making contact and following directions to each destination.Does Tom Tom have the ability to automatically adjust course to get me to the destination when I make a wrong turn?

Big time thanks!!!!! TTS worked. I changed voice to Brittish English and didn't chose the TTS. It was my mistake. I will have to contack Garmin about the error message. Thanks again!!!!!!

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.

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?
