limited text to speech on TT510?

Hi

Text to speech is something I'd like (especially for the wife), but I'm hesitant to pay TT910/Nuvi360 prices when I only need UK maps.

I'm trying out the Sony U50 at the moment, as part of my quest for a good satnav. I was surprised when it named the roads to turn into. Granted, it was only numbered roads - eg "turn left onto the A-3-0-8", but I think thats probably enough, as my wife really only has trouble with roundabouts etc and usually they are major routes.

I'd prefer a TT or Nuvi I think, as they have bluetooth support and speed camera support.

So my question is - does the TT510 (or 710) do this limited TTS, or does it just do 'turn left in 100 yards'?

Only the 910 has TTS, all the others use .wav files e.g. 'Turn Left in 300yards' etc.

just to clarify, TT510/710 won't say 'turn right in 200 yards onto the A308'?

I don't want to mix up terminlogy, as I assume the sony is also using wavs (only needs numbers).

This has already been hacked, long ago. You can get TTS to work on any 510 or 700 , maybe even 500, given enough space and limiting yourself to just one voice (400 MB)
