Hi all,
My zumo 550 has a problem in that it can't say most street/road names, it comes out as dribble, very few names are said correctly.
Why could this be, it does have the latest maps.

Perhaps you have the wrong language loaded?? failing that try updating your software.
If you decide to update it back up your device by copying the whole Garmin folder of your 550 to your PC, so if it goes pear shaped you can easily copy it back.
 
Try updating to a different voice, I use British Emily I think and can understand it ok,
 
Its a hoot in Wales where the voices don't have a clue.

To be fair mate, I'd think anyone would struggle with Burpengary and Koolyanobbing.
 
Thanks all for your feedback, I will try a software update as suggested.

I wouldn't mind so much if it was all in Spanish if it was well pronounced.

Yes Wapping some street/town names are unpronounceable, on my recent trip I would have to text some names of towns after talking to the wife on the phone.
My spanglish speaking accent doesn't help much either, ha ha ha.
