No Street names with my 255: Can anyone help?

By now, I bet you've figured it out. If not (and if it's like my 765) it's: "tools" &gt; "settings" &gt; "language" &gt; "voice" Pick one with the TTS modifier.

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.

I have a 255w some times it goes crazy taking you to a different place then you plugged in. The map update is close to $100.So I'm Locking for a GPS that advertises when there product maps were installed.

The map displays street names. Additionally, if you are supposed to turn on an upcoming street it will say the street name as well as give the distance to the turn.

Well mine still says 'welcome back __(person's ID)____' and it's totally not me. I'm guessing void, not not certain. Go to a dealer if you want certainty.

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.

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

yes! The names appear in an alphabetical order. That is where names are attached to each entry. But if one adds only numbers of streets, which in most cases come before the names of the streets, these street names are equally alphabetically arranged.

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.

I just bought 255w at Amazon but it shipped by another vendor and I just found out It did not have a new map version.How do I update the map(package did not have USB cable and where can I find the Usb cable) I thought If I buy it from Amazon web site all GPS should go with new map.I'm confuse.I need some experts to help me out. Thanks,

Go to tomtom home and do a backup first. Then remove all voices except the computer one. That the one that speaks street names. Then go to update my device and update the software first. Then update the maps. Then you will be fine. Follow these steps and you will have no problems.

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

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.
