No Text To Speech on Nav?
For those with Nav, will you confirm that the system has no Test-To-Speech? That is, it will tell to turn left or right or etc., but it won't say the street or freeway name? CNet's review said thsi feature is absent, could it be true? I mean, my $200 Magellan has text-to-speech, I think even the TomTom One has it.
Geez, another demerit!

it tells me to turn left and on "blank street", yes it had all the good features of the best gps except for the real time traffic which can only be had if you have teleaid and pay for the subscription

Come to think of it, I think you are right the instructions are "turn right" and it does not say the name of the street. I like that.
On a BMW it would say: Turn right onto H W Y 4 0 1 . It gets to you after a while.
On some systems it even says: Please.
