Help! No spoken street names on TomTom XL 340 S: Can anyone help?
181112
I have the older model TomTom XL-S and know that ONLY the computerized female or male voices will actually speak the street names. All other voices included with the GPS are "real" voices and therefore cannot speak the actual street names, just the generic type directions as you mentioned. I don't know if your newer model TomTom is the same, but it sounds to me like it might be. Hope this helped!

As you are first entering any street name do not try to enter N, S, E or W nor enter Rd, Ln, or the like. Once you get the address number entered on the following screen the unit will provide you with a list of several different street names for that city with the additional information you did not enter such as the N, S, E, W, Rd, Ln etc., and then you touch the appropriate one/box to select it. The unit then enters the full address. If you try to put in more than the basic street information that is offered as you go along adding letters to the street name, the unit gets confused. Hope that helps in case you have not yet worked with it sufficiently to find out how that works - - -

I believe you can opt to have street names spoken. Haven't use mine lately since my Lexus has the GPS system!

Hi Sam, the TomTom HOME software reports that "Live" services (i.e. through a cellphone-like connection) are not supported by my 340TM unit. My understanding is that 340TM unit has an RDS service but not the "Live" services, i.e. the 340TM does not have the Google search, gas prices, etc. accessible when on the road.

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.

Haven't tried to update since I just got my GPS. HOWEVER - it gives the wrong directions....When the map clearly shows to turn one direction, the voice prompt says to turn the opposite. Finally, I just turn it off and follow the road signs!!!! Not happy with my TomTom!!!

My guess is 255W speaks street names in North America version only. You can see it on www.garmin.com when you do side by side comparison.

I have used one, and it does NOT announce streets by name. The description is quite wrong.

Not sure, but I would think you should. Best bet would be to contact TomTom for this answer.

Sorry, I can't answer that as I don't have a TomTom unit. Recommend you contact seller.

The problem with TomTom in general is that the maps have to be updated and is not for free. Plus the internal memory is very small. It may stop working just because there is no space. l already bought another one-Magellan with free maps update for life.

I don't know. I've updated streets that never show up in the updates, plus updated streets that don't exist that never get corrected.

Call TomTom customer service & ask them to activate/update your Lifetime Map service. Then connect your GPS to your computer
