My garmin nuvi 200 gives me a different street name before I can type in the correct one...

Are you sure you have glasgow as town ?
There is an argyll place (different spelling)

Normally it shows similar names in a city and you chose the correct one.
Is the argyle place it shows actually argyle street ?
On my garmin it shows argyle (gardens, Place, road, square .... ) as one option and the 2nd option argyll place.
I have the 2010 city navigator maps.

Neither the Nuvi 250W nor the Nuvi 205W have Text to Speech (which is the feature that allows the unit to speak the street names), so you cannot make yours speak street names. I'm sorry.

If your exact address cannot be found, it is possible that your installed Map is not up to date.
Short from updating the map (with no guarantee that 'new' street will be included), you can navigate to streets intersections instead or nearby street or some other POI landmark.
Hope it helps.

Take it up with garmin. It's their software.

I don't believe this unit offers a street name function. The hard drive is not powerful enough.

No, the Nuvi 200 does not have text to speech for street names. You have to go with a higher model to do this, like the Nuvi 260.

I have the Nuvi 200, and the voice does not tell you street names. It just says right or left.

Question: My nuvi is supposed to speak street names when giving voice prompts but it doesn't. How can I fix this?
Answer: All of the Garmin automotive GPS units that speak street names are also loaded with basic voice prompts (i.e. 'Turn Right in 500 feet') as well as 'text-to-speech' voices that speak street names. If one of the basic types of voice prompts has been selected, the voice prompts will not speak street names.
In order to change this setting on the nüvi line of products, please follow these steps:

1. In the Main Menu, tap on the Settings icon.
2. Tap on "Locale"
3. The second line on this screen has a picture of a mouth. To the right, the current voice for the GPS device is listed. Tap it to change the voice.
4. Select a voice that is labeled with (TTS) at the end. These voices will speak street names.
5. Select "OK". The voice has now been changed.

The device should now speak street names.
