Does anyone have a suggestion or comment about voices for the Garmin? What about the KITT voice or PIG Tones voices? Are they decent and do they speak street names?

None of the add-on voices do text-to-speech which is required for street names.

Additionally, most voices are celebrity impersonations and not very good either.
Thank you for the information . . .
I will not waste my money.
Not impressed
Of the few I've heard, I'm not impressed. That being said: None of them work on my StreetPilot which makes me a little jealous too
Dr. Nightmare
I like the Dr. Nightmare voice on my garmin. Got it from the Goarmin site at no charge.
Every now and then it throws in a random observation..."You don't like spiders, do you?"
Also, when you go off the suggested road, instead of "Recalculating" it says "Let me consult my magic book".
Kinda fun.
+1 on Dr Nightmare...
On LOOOONNNG trips (10 hours+ behind the wheel), I switch over to Dr Nightmare for a change of pace.
He's also great if you have someone unfamiliar with GPSs' with you.....
Always brings a smile

Too bad it don't exist in French...
I can see my wife's face as the GPS makes one of those remarks...
