Question about Garmin nuvi 350 GPS Receiver

Nuvi 350 - How do you get it to say the name of the street?

I have the NUVI 350 and it's advertised as being able to say the name of the street coming up/where to turn. How do you enable this function? Thanks in advance.

You have to select one of the "TTS" voices (TTS stands for text to speech). These are the voices capable of saying the street names (although the mispronunciations are often amusing)

How do make the gps announce the street name to

Neither the Nuvi 250W nor the Nuvi 205W have Text to Speech (which is the feature that allows the unit to speak the street names), so you cannot make yours speak street names. I'm sorry.

Please try this solution first. It sounds like you don't have any TTS (text to speech) voices selected.

Garmin Nuvi 260 - how to activate 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:

In the Main Menu, touch Tools (Wrench icon).
Touch Settings.
Press the Down arrow in the bottom right corner.
Select Language.
The first line on this screen is the Voice language. Touch the Current Voice option for the GPS device listed to change the Voice.
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.
Select OK. The Voice has now been changed.
