Question 2008 IS 250 Nav Question?

Hi guys,

I was wondering for those that have the 2008 IS 250 w/ NAV. How do I get the system to "say" the NAME of the streets as I am getting the directions. Currently, it will say... "In 1.1 miles turn left", instead I am trying to get it to say "In 1.1 miles turn left ONTO MAIN ST". I figure I am just missing something on the settings, but I don't see it. Can anyone walk me through getting that to work? Thanks.

SuperG

If I'm not mistaken the nav doesn't say the street names

Yeah, it's on the long long long list of features the OEM system lacks compared to current, vastly cheaper, aftermarket systems...be nice if Lexus moves the nav system out of the late 90s in the '09 refresh but I'm not holding my breath.
