ALG (lane guidance) doesn't use voices. Computer voices are needed to read out street names, etc. Tim sez "turn left". A computer voice sez "turn left Main street". 64MB units use Loquendo computer voices, & 32MB units use vocalizer computer voices.

AGL is a map feature, not a navcore feature. 850.2820 maps do not have have AGL.

Do you mean 850.2781? If so, yes it has ALG, but as I said, AGL doesn't use a voice. As to whether you have any voices on your unit, go to Change preferences, Voices & see what is there.

ALG is just pictures like tendriver said there is no voice, the voice is determind by whatever voice you have selected, here is a pic below of ALG, It is a feature you will not see much unless you do lots of motoway driving.

i see so im asking the wrong thing , i should be asking about the voice giving street names instead of of just turn left is this a feature of the map or the device, and with what i have on my device could i get this to work
nav 9053
maps 850.2871 uk and roi

Yep you read it in post 2. They do it the same way, but with Loquendo computer voices.
