Spoken street names
-
Spoken street names would be an incredibly valuable new feature in Navigator Free for Android.
Please correct me if it already exists somewhere. I am using Navigator for Android 0.9.124 on Samsung Galaxy S2 with Android 4.0.3.

Spoken names are fine as long as they're optional, personally I would never use them following my experience on Google maps which uses spoken names.
I found (in Ireland) that its attempts to pronounce many of our road names renders them unintelligible...... plus on some occasions by the time its finished listing all the possible names/numbers on a slip road ahead, its time to turn already!

Text to speech is not integrated in Android version yet ... maybe later.
thanks

Martin, thanks for prompt response.
Spoken street names is something I'd pay for.
By way of comparision, Navdroyd also uses OSM maps and has spoken street names. It's USD 6.58 in the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.osa.android.navdroyd&hl=en).
Hopefully,

I would agree @morr this feature should by a must but optionally. I vote for this one
