SOURCE: garmin 760 not in English

Hi, from the "Where To" / "View Map" screen, select the tools (spanner icon), then Settings (spanner icon again) then Language (Mouth icon).
There should be 3 options, the lower left is the Keyboard; select this then scroll to British English. The upper icon is the Voice, choose a suitable one (if it says (TTS) it will read out street names as ir gives directions), the top-right option is Text, again choose British English.

Click on the wrench tool button, then the picture of the sprockets which is system, then click the lips/mouth. Once there, you should be able to change the voice and text to English. Just click on one of the boxes to change it to your chosen language.

SOURCE: Garmin Nuvi 205 continues to state Loss Satellites

If your Garmin NUVI 205 can be recognized by your computer when plugged in, I recommend you backup your favorites.

Then I suggest a hard reset. This correct some problems.

Finally, replace the firmware and system software using webupdate. Replacing the firmware should allow it to find more satellites more quickly and keep them more successfully after the update.

I hope that helps.

I have set my Garmin Nuvi 205w in turkish rather than english. I have tried to reset it by holding the on/off switch for 8 secs but it hasnt given me the option of languages.

Press TOOLS (the spanner symbol on the page with Where To and View Map)
Press SETTINGS (The Spanner Symbol) or LOCALE on models that don't have settings(Blue Symbol)
Press LANGUAGE (The lips symbol)
This will bring you to a page with 3 items VOICE LANGUAGE, TEXT LANGUAGE and KEYBOARD
If you need to change the voice language press VOICE LANGUAGE and select a name of an English speaking country.
If you need to change the text language press TEXT LANGUAGE and change to English
This should solve your problem

My garmin nuvi 250 is now only in spanish - I want english

Hello, you should be able to achieve this by resetting the GPS since its default is English.

Performing a Standard Reset

1. Slide the power switch all the way to the left (with the Nuvi's screen facing you).
2. Hold the switch in the position for at least eight seconds.
3. Push the switch to the right to power the Nuvi back on.

Performing a Factory Reset

1. Turn your Nuvi off by sliding the power switch to the left.
2. Press your finger against the bottom right corner of the touchscreen. Hold your finger in this position.
3. Slide the power switch to the right to turn the Nuvi back on. Continue to hold you finger against the screen until you see the factory reset prompt. Tap "Yes" to perform the factory reset.

Good luck

Garmin nuvi 650

Got a solution for you:

You need to set the language properly in order to get the speech for street name

Go to setup --> Locale - Voice Language

Select language with TTS (Text-To_Speech) next to it:

ie:
American English-Jack (TTS )
American English-Jill (TTS)
Australia English-Karen (TTS)
