After much conflicting evidence I thought I'd ask you guys - and gals:) Does the N550 do text to speech - i.e turn left into Oil Drum Lane - or does it just say turn left???

TIA

I'm 99% certain it does. That was one of the earliest updates. Only 99% because I don't bother with listening to the damn thing - just peek at it approaching a junction.

It does, but very badly.

When you say badly, is it different to other Garmin units? I have a Nuvi 350 at the moment and really like the text to speech. It's sometimes quite amusing in France but I'm sort of used to it.

The pronounciation of UK names is moderate, but in France and Germany it's all but useless - street names are unrecognizable.

I couldn't say whether its better or worse than other Garmin units.
