Not that big a problem -- I just want a belt+suspenders check for the 
Garmin :-)  My Rand McNally road atlas doesn't talk either.

FWIW, the Garmin is stupid.  It wants the address ordered 
state/number/street/city and takes a godawful long time to search for a 
city with that number and street.  Maybe the update (which I have to use 
the windows machine for) will fix that -- I think my previous Garmin 
(the one that tried to kill me TWICE) did it the right way.
