TomTom One for me; reasonably priced and easy to use. I use it for work
(US, Canada and Europe), but have also discovered that it is great for TR
drives out into the country; go where we want without thinking about it and
when done we just punch "Home" and have it take us back.
As to the street names being spoken, I haven't found a need for it even when
I am in a strange city; "next left, second right" has worked fine for me.
I have a driver not a show car, so I installed a hidden cigarette lighter
socket in the TR to power it.

I've got a Garmin c530 and it's nice - not all the bells and whistles, but
gets me where I need to be.
