Do you really have to have it tell you the street name when it tells you to turn in 200 m? The screen shows the name if you really need it. I personally would rather listen to my music than constantly be talked to by the navigation.

The feature I miss the most is the current road speed limit, like my Garmin 1450 has. Other than that, I think the Nav system is pretty good overall.

How many countless times that people receives direction from a gps that has a wrong street name or worst doesn't exist? It is also a distraction to drivers to look at the screen to confirm the street which is a safety issue, that's why the street names are being said by almost all nav systems nowadays to remove the distraction from the driver.

To people like you who doesn't want to listen to the voice that much a "turn off street names" option on the guidance is not a bad option but who knows why merc didn't have it is a guess to all of us.I think that the software engineer didn't get his salary raised so he kept some of the features out to **** everyone just to get even with big daddy merc.
