Chale,

Thank You for the information. I have it working now . I think the proper installation of the VocalizerEX did the trick. I have tried to install it before but, I think I messed up. Not sure what else in the sys.txt is important -- I see you have "navigation_audio_stream=3" -- mine is set to 0 and it still works. Never sure how much or how little in sys.txt is valuable???? I assume that since you are using Allison en_US - English (United States) Premium High that you are getting TTS including street names? My non-TTS voices still don't work but I don't really care; I prefer the TTS anyway. You are right -- the whole thing was very frustrating. I have searched and searched for this answer until my search finger is tired. Fortunately, I think everyone on this board tries to be helpful, which is greatly appreciated. Good information here. Thanks again.
