does it speak street names

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

This model does work with typed in street addresses? I'm asking because the instructions don't say a word about that. I havent hooked it up yet. Thx

I don't have this unit, but my Blackberry with Telenav only announces the name of a street that I am to turn or veer onto.... don't think you want your GPS announcing the name of every cross street you come to. Would be pretty annoying.

Yes it does and is very easy to read. It will also show major roads and names as you expand the map

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.

Not sure why your question is specific to the spoken street names. The overall volume on mine is uniform throughout the announcements regardless of what is being said therefore my answer would be no. If it's too soft I turn it up and visa versa. There's no one control to emphasize the volume of just the street names over the turn suggestions, distance in feet, lane changes, etc. I'm sure you already know this but to adjust the volume level, tap the left-hand section of the status bar in the Driving View.

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.

Instructions are in several languages. City names are ancient, not the modern names, so that would be interesting.

if I remember right the unit will give sounded directions for street names and lane changes (lane to be in for an exit off freeway or go on thru)

Thank you, John, for the suggestion. There apparently two different models: 325 and 325S. The 325S comes with the computer voice that reads the street names. I have not be able to download a computer voice to the 325 yet. If you have a suggestion I would welcome the help.

Some of the voices do. But some do not. Be sure to select the correct voice in order to have the street names mentioned.

Yes. I just put in address and zip and it will show me if there are more than one street wih the same name. Also update your Garmin with your computer program that came with the Garmin.

I don't know, but regardless, it is far inferior to Google maps. Streets and trips is a complete waste of money.

Yes the GPS announce the street names after you update the system by contacting manufacture tech support, they will ask for your unit serial number to verify your purchase, then will send you a microSD card with the TTS voice files, follow the instructions, you copy and paste the files into your GPS microSD card on computer, the TTS Pro function will be enabled, you can select those TTS voice files to read the street names. I recently updated it and now I have some voices which speak the street names, very happy with it.

Yes it does. ..it announces upcoming turns by their names. ..easy to use (very user friendly)...how it looks? (way above its price range) you won't be disappointed with this purchase

It supposedly does but it is not clear how accurate the traffic is. Sometimes it says lots of traffic and it's fine. All in all this GPS is so disappointing and now sitting in my closet. Not good.
