It doesn't say turn in that street "Name" just says turn right. Is there a way to get it to say turn " RIGHT ON MAIN STREET"?

The nav doesn't actually say street names but with the way it counts down it would be hard for you to miss the turn..

"Right turn coming up"
"Right turn in 200 hundred metres"
"Take a right turn"

If it said each street name individually then the 'computer voice' would have to to embed each and every single road name where BMW's are delivered in the entire world, not a short process by any means.

Coolest feature to make sure that you have on is the Exit Ramp Perspective View (I think that's what its called) If your on the highway it shows the ramp the way that you approach it.

The $200 Garmin I have says street names. I think it does it by stringing recorded sounds together. Some of the names (and pronunciations) come out a bit strange.

My Garmin has that feature.

Yeah my old Garmin pronounces street names. Same way voice command pronounces the weird names I have on my contact list.
