I recently had my X910Bt installed. In general, I like it a lot but the following irk me on a daily basis:
1: Slowness: When the device first starts up, it is DREADFULLY slow, to the point where it is really hard to, for example, enter a destination address.
2: No spoken street names: My old OEM (GM) GPS Navi would speak most street names. For example: "Turn right on to sepulveda boulevard". So far, I haven't heard the X910Bt do that. Maybe I'm spoiled, but this seems like a glaring omission to me....?? Is there a setting I have missed?
3: Flaky routing: I wonder if the MSN direct data is messing with the routing, but I have experienced twice that the GPS would direct me to exit a freeway, only to send me right back on to the freeway on the same onramp.

Hmmm.... I guess I have no real choice here, but we're talking several minutes. To me, that's a significant annoyance given how I'm using the device.

2)go to MENU, SETTINGS, SYSTEM SETTINGS, REGIONAL SETTINGS, and then choose the Samantha (TTS) options of the voice settings. if the voice you choose does not have "TTS" next to it, it will not pronounce the street names.
