Redfireshaker06 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I thought I read somewhere that the D3 will say the street names instead of just turn left in ..... Is there any truth to that? Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mgill5483 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 correction - the D3 will in fact say street names but i am not sure which ones. I know not all of them I havent used it enough to see which roads or whatever....but it will say steet names. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coocho Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I am pretty sure it does not say street names. What you are hearing is probably highway names, but definitely not street names. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Yup highway and mojor things like that. Smaller streets and such, you're beat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shockme66 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 This is text from a CNET review: En route to the required destination, the Avic-D3 uses turn-by-turn voice prompts (including text-to-voice functionality) to call out turns and the names of individual roads. http://reviews.cnet.com/Pioneer_Avic_D3 ... prod.txt.1 I guess I'll find out when CF ships my unit.

coocho Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I am pretty sure they are wrong, as I have a D3 and have never heard it do that. Even pioneers website makes no mention of text to speech for the D3, but they splash it all over the place for the Z1/Z2 units. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mgill5483 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I am pretty sure it does not say street names. What you are hearing is probably highway names, but definitely not street names. Yes, you are right, I have not heard small street names. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shockme66 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Goes to show you CNET is full of BS, and they have the nerve to give the unit a 6.4 rating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
