My Tomtom XXL 540 seems not speak the street names: Is there something you have turn on?

You must choose a computer voice, e.g. Susan, in order for it to speak street names. It should be somewhere in the preference settings.

Yep, I just replied to your latest comment on your review. Although I find the lack of detailed street names annoying if not ridiculous, I'm not quite to the point to where I would abandon Garmin all together. Quite a few of their units, like my much older Quest, do show street names. By the way, if you want to check out an excellent site for downloading POIs, icons, sounds, etc go to: http://www.poi-factory.com

Make sure you have the tollways option selected and if that doesn't do it then try updating maps again.Good luck.

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.

Try a full reboot. The car then has to be "recognized" those step(s) vary. You may need to try a few things.

1st: Examine the ends and the holes they go into. If they fit right, the USB is correct.2nd: If that doesn't work, call TomTom's free tech support. They are good.

Contact TomTom telephone support. I had the same issue. Got it resolved within 30 minutes - needed to scan in my BestBuy receipt and the Lifetime Maps card, and they manually activated my subscription. For some reason, TomTom forgot to enter our codes into their system, but there is a quick fix for that. Just call their number - it is available on your TomTom box.

I used mine with a TomTom XXL 540 and the GPS was too heavy for the mount.It shook and vibrated enough that the image was always blurred and hard to see.Then again, what is annoying to me may be acceptible to you.I figured for 10 bucks, what the heck.You can check the weight of your unit versus the XXL540 as I am not familiar with every TomTom model.I hope this helped.

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

Is there some way to update the maps or firmware? How do we know we have the latest version? My wife's TomTom plugs into the USB port and downloads the updates automatically. I see nothing other than MIO transfer, which is not very intuitive or useful.

I don't know what your're talking about. I have a tom tom start 45tm 4.3 and have never had a GPS update but you can connect to a computer and get map updates if there are any.

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.

It has turn-by-turn prompts, but does not have the text-to-speech feature, so it won't say street names.

I have just bought a Tomtom XL from Amazon. The SW told me my map is up to date, yet, I know the map was released at 2007. Instead of going thru the tool->latest map guarantee menu, I went to other menu to purchase the map, the message said my map is 5 quarter behind and then when I tried to purchase, it showed the version of the map available to my system is at 8.xxx.I will have to call Tomtom tomorrow to find out what's going on.

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.

What is "text to speech"? Does either the 250W or 350 announce street names?

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