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???
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.

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.
