What do you mean?
If you are asking if there are any PGPSW camera warning voices the same as the non TTS voice for guidance then the answer is no. But most people would prefer different voices and different speech levels.
If this isn't what you mean could you please re-phrase your question?

sorry if I didn't make this clear, I was told that non-TTL voice files would not give you street names. I downloaded and installed current speedzone speed camera files & Ash10's matching voice files. Previous to doing this the voice direction gave me street names but not any more, so I have assumed that the voice files I have installed at the moment are not TTL voice files. Is this correct? |

The voice files you load for the speed cameras are totally separate from the unit 's voices. They cannot affect one another.
The only way to change the voice files on your unit is to do it via the Settings screen on the unit.
You aren't resetting the unit to default settings somehow are you? This could account for the sort of behaviour you are experiencing.

I was advised when downloading these files to turn off Garmin alerts to stop the possibility of getting dual alerts. Could this be the cause of my missing street names. |

No. The TTS voices are separate from the Speed Camera Alert voices. The Speed Camera Alert are just mp3 files not Voice files. They could be bongs, alarms, cows mooing, in fact ANY sound at all. Don't be mis-lead by the fact you hear voices when they are played.
Can you check you have a TTS Voice selected under Settings (Spanner), Locale, Voice Language. |

selecting voice language British English TTS has solved the problem. As far as I know I did not alter this setting but then I could be going senile. Please accept my apologies for wasting your time. |
