Nav question
Hi all,
I just finished first 1000 miles on my new HCH-II, it is running really nicely. On a NJ to Mass round trip this weekend, hard to keep it below 65-70 mph, just plain dangerous, especially on the Mass Pike. Car still got 45 mpg. I like the navigation system a lot. Seems to always give 3 warnings if possible on a turn, one at 1/2 mile, one at 1/4 mile and then one with 2 blocks to go; then the real turn itself. But I do miss one feature, I wonder if it is programmable into the navigation, sorry I am lazy about reading the manual about this: When it says 'turn left in 1/2 mile' I would love if it would add 'at Smith Street' -- so it would say 'turn left in 1/2 mile (or 1/4 mile or in 2 blocks) at Smith Street'. I now always glance down to see the street name, just a habit of knowing what street to look for on my previous system, which I liked. And the nav knows the street name, it is listed right there. thanks, Mark |

Hi Mark,
I have a Nav too in my HCH (updated to the 2009 model year). I don't think it can do what you want. I'm pretty sure it doesn't support text-to-speech. -dan |
Re: Nav question
I do not think I explained it well: I simply want it to say what it always says, but I want it to add this to the sentence: 'onto XYZ street' -- like when it says, "make the second right" I want it to say instead -- "make the second right onto Smith Street".

Re: Nav question
Go into setup and change the guidance to "Full" or something to that effect and it will read street names (although in a generated voice not as nice as the canned version)

Re: Nav question
Yes, it will read street names, though sometimes the pronunciation is humorous.

The nav system's diagnostic menu actually has settings to tweak the TTS synthesizer. You can do things like adjust pitch, tone, speed, etc of the voice. |
Re: Nav question
Yes, I just tried this (MAX) and it is working fine. Nice system.
thanks, Mark |

Could you please enlighten me on how to get into the diagnostic menu on the 2009 OEM Nav?

I think I answered my own question from the hidden features thread. Hold down map-menu-cancel for 3 seconds. I will try it later today. :embarass:
