Any skin using?
If you want just basic info, then use standard voices, not TTS...

Settings - Sound - Spoken Guidance - Tell Streetnames in Native Language - Only Maneuvers.
Changed "Number and Names" to "Only Maneuvers" did the trick.

Hello, I had the same problem. With Kasandra TTS Voice file it is OK.

Phoneme files do not work with Android . Delete them

Thanks Golom,
You are right, deleting Phoneme solved that problem for me.

Anybody solved this problem ? I am using NextGen with the unisex TTS (english), Google engine. I do not have phonemes (Android). Most street names are OK but on highways (Canada) I can also hear "equal, backslash" followed by correct highway number, for highways which have a number not a name (most highways around here). Any modified voice file which fixes this ? I searched but did not find any. Thanks.

PS - For example one street : Dundas St W 5 is pronounced "Highway 5 slash equal one backslash". This is consistent for any highway which has a number.

There is any way to eliminate that slash equal part ?
There is any way to read the highway name , not number if it has both like in this case ? I vaguely remember some hack long before about this on Primo.... Not sure it is possible on NG.

I'm using latest Canada maps, tried both Here and TA, is the same, and the standard unisex English US voice, with standard Google TTS vocalizer .

I did more investigation about this. First, because I am in Canada but the language is Eng US it consider me as being in a foreign country so the settings for sound are the one for foreign country not local (no idea how can I set that my locale is Canada not US ?).
Changing the sound settings for "Say Road Names in Foreign Language area" from numbers only to "Numbers and Names" make the software now to only say the direction when reaching the road which has both name and number ( I tried manoevures only also an it's the same). However other highways which have ONLY a number like 401 or any highway exit which is a number have the same problem so the software says the number followed by slash equal one backslash. So the problem is still there.
Any help is appreciated.

I think no...

Hello, can you tell me what to do to have sound for - Speed camera, School zone and etc. Now i have sound only for manouver and beep sound for cameras and all other stuffs.

I have 2 phones. On one is this version - [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] . I put TTS Daria (BG). I have only beep sound for cameras, no sound for schools and other things. But i have sound for turning - Turn left, turn right etc...

On my other phone, because is old the version is iGO Primo 2.4 (9.6.29.636868) - On this phone again with TTS Daria (BG) or with the original BG language without TTS i have everything - Sound for camera (Speed camera), sound for school, but it is missing sound for turning. I am searching how to make everything to work.

"iGO Basar 9.18.27.736574" is NextGen. Sloppy naming convention. And pretty much all NextGen don't have TTS support for other than navigation, so if you want it for Speedcam, Driver Alerts, Turn Restriction, etc...; you need to use a skin/mod/hack has does it.
