Street Names Vs Route Numbers
Hi,
I just bought the nuvi 50LM and took it on a test drive. The one thing it does that i would like to change is that it refers to street names instead of route numbers. I would prefer to hear "Turn left onto route 30" instead of "Turn left onto Ardmore Boulivard"
Is there a setting for this?
