Great bit of kit, but no street names! June 9, 2008

My first sat nav and I spent hours trying to decide which to get and eventually decided on the 255. Reviews have not been good regards the traffic system regardless of manufacturer so I didn't go for that but I was keen to get street names called. The UK version of this unit does NOT give street names on it's turn by turn directions although the US version does. A call to Garmin confirmed this although they did say I could return the unit. The only problem is to get what I want from a Garmin means spending upwards of 220 and thats just to much. The rest of the unit is just brilliant, it locks on fast, will reroute in a second or two and has thousands of points of interest, which you can add to. You can mark your own locations on the map and I am delighted overall. My conclusion is it's a great unit, it's fast and very easy to use, but if you want street names called go elsewhere as you will be a tad miffed as I was. BTW I will keep the unit as I believe it is better than comparable TomTom with superior mapping just feel let down after all the anticipation.
Street names not spoken for UK and Europe June 11, 2008

The specification for the 255 says that street names will be spoken. It has taken a substantial amount of time to find out this is only for the US.I feel conned can somebody explain why one should pay for a 255 as it seems to do the same as the 250
