Navigon 2100 text to speech not working

I'm afraid the 255w does not speak street names. A satnav needs to have "Text To Speech" capability before it can speak the names and the 255 doesn't have it.

The Nuvi 255W is capable of TTS (text-to-speech) and speaking street names. Please see this link on how to set the unit up to speak street names:

You will need to do the following to get your unit to speak street names.
Tools/Settings/Language/Voice,select one that has TTS after its name.
I would suggest that you go on Google and download the 60 page complete Manual which also has Troubleshooting in it.

The One XL will not speak street names, but the One XL-S will. Text-to-Speech is the main difference between the two models.

Did you select Text To Speech (TTS) one?  If the voice doesn't have (TTS) it won't speak street names.

Make sure the voice you have selected has the letters TTS next to it.

The 200W isn't supposed to have text-to-speech (where it actually speaks the street names). If yours did initially it was probably loaded on the unit by mistake at the factory. That feature isn't part of the 200W or it's software.

Select a voice with TTS (Text to speech).

Question: How do I change the Voice Language setting on my nuvi 2xx?
--> Answer: All of the Garmin® automotive GPS units that speak street names are also loaded with basic voice prompts (example: Turn Right in 500 feet) as well as Text-to-Speech (TTS) voices that speak street names. If one of the basic types of voice prompts has been selected, the voice prompts will not speak street names. In order to change this setting on the nüvi® 2xx series, follow these steps:

1. In the Main Menu, touch Tools (Wrench icon).
2. Touch Settings.
3. Press the Down arrow in the bottom right corner.
4. Select Language.
5. The first line on this screen is the Voice language. Touch the Current Voice option for the GPS device listed to change the Voice.
6. Select a Voice that is labeled TTS. These will speak street names. Options without the TTS label will say the distance until the next turn, but will not include the street name.
7. Select OK. The Voice has now been changed.

The device should now speak street names. This is tghe solution that I found on the Garmin site. It worked for my device. Hope this is helpful. solution = solution1description.innerHTML; Last modified on: 04/14/2008
