    my Nuvi 760 does not say street names

    I was under the impression that this unit can convert text to speech and actually say the street name or POI but alas, it says the same thing, i.e. "in 100 meters turn right..."

    I have the contributor's map and there are a lot of street name identified in the map but the unit won't say the names. Any info on this gents?

          If settings don't work, upgrade your firmware via Garmin website using webupdater, lot of bugs on old firmware

            hbt, Tofu, Borgie, the Judge and the rest, THANKS!
