does the 2457 give street names with directions?

Yes. I just put in address and zip and it will show me if there are more than one street wih the same name. Also update your Garmin with your computer program that came with the Garmin.

Yep, I just replied to your latest comment on your review. Although I find the lack of detailed street names annoying if not ridiculous, I'm not quite to the point to where I would abandon Garmin all together. Quite a few of their units, like my much older Quest, do show street names. By the way, if you want to check out an excellent site for downloading POIs, icons, sounds, etc go to: http://www.poi-factory.com

I don't have this unit, but my Blackberry with Telenav only announces the name of a street that I am to turn or veer onto.... don't think you want your GPS announcing the name of every cross street you come to. Would be pretty annoying.

The C340 has "full" spoken directions as well. It will read the street names and exit numbers to you. The C330 only tells you to "turn left" and so on, although it does display the names/exits at the top.

Yes it does give an address of where it is parked. It Is quite accurate. Lots of nice features.

Does the Garmin 250 or 200 come with Street name announcements, or just "right & left turn now?" Is the voice annoying? Henry

Yes, Espanol Americas is an option in the Language section of the "Settings" that shows up on the "Home" screen. There are actually 2 names listed, but only one (Paulina) speaks the street names. You may have to go to garmin.com to download updates (free) if it is not included when you start with a new unit. Good luck!

No. You can still use google maps to find directions if your connected to the internet, but you can't get turn by turn directions. Archos has some decent tablets around the same price with GPS's

Not that I have been able to locate - been in situations that would have changed the route

Yes, but it only appears when it's giving you details about your route (like lanes, ramps, etc...)

It supposedly does but it is not clear how accurate the traffic is. Sometimes it says lots of traffic and it's fine. All in all this GPS is so disappointing and now sitting in my closet. Not good.

In the USA, you enter the house or business number and then the street name. The Garmin then searches the nearest 2 or three states and gives you choices. If that fails, you have to enter the city and state. My understanding is that in the UK you have to enter the postal code, but I don't have any personal experience with that.

Thank you, John, for the suggestion. There apparently two different models: 325 and 325S. The 325S comes with the computer voice that reads the street names. I have not be able to download a computer voice to the 325 yet. If you have a suggestion I would welcome the help.

if I remember right the unit will give sounded directions for street names and lane changes (lane to be in for an exit off freeway or go on thru)

Yes. 1. Select an address first, the select Go 2. Select another address and select Go 3. It will ask for whether you want to add to the trip or not.

I believe you can opt to have street names spoken. Haven't use mine lately since my Lexus has the GPS system!

I typed in 10 Main St. Anchorage, Alaska and it gave a message that "the route is too long. Navigation instructions are a added as you approach the destination." I would guess the maps would be there. It is a great GPS.
