Also, check this osk..

I agree. Cross street name display is a must for any app I buy.

Hi schneid,

Welcome to Laptop GPS World.

I'm not on the road right now, so I cannot double-check this, but I think Garmin actually does a good job of displaying the road names that are important (in navigation mode). But I'll keep an eye on this tomorrow, while driving.

Hmm,
I see all street names displayed in navigation mode, both 2D and 3D.

nialag, that's good to know! Thanks! So you are running French version of MS Windows, and Garmin Mobile PC user interface is in French language? Do you remember if the installation asked you for your language preference?

Re: Review: Garmin Mobile PC

It looks like at least French, Spanish, German and Italian. At least those are the other languages that manuals are available for. .... Yes, if you look at the things that were added in the 5.00.10g update it says that support for British English, French, Italian, Spanish and German were added.

Nice. I wonder if the user interface, not just the voice prompts, supports all the above languages.
