    Does the 2010 Prius Nav speak street names? Like a Garmin or Tomtom?

    Yes. Sometimes not well, but yes.

    With the typical lurchy mispronunciation of any computer text-to-speech device, yes.

    It's not a different voice so much as a synthesized approximation of the main voice. You can disable it through settings if you don't like it.

    Awesome. Maybe I won't have to borrow my wife's Garmin that I bought her!

    I haven't had any issues with mispronunciations yet. I'm actually very pleased with the system. The auto volume reduction and beep are nice. It gets my mind back on getting where I wanted to go instead of just driving. Which is apparently a serious problem for me, the car is just too much fun to drive.
