I did a little research on this, but haven't tried any of the pay services.

The only voice directions available seem to be TelNav w/subscription for $9.95/month or Wayfinder Navigator which is a single purchase of $99.

They both seem to have pretty good reviews. Wayfinder is a bit Europe biased, I think, being a British company, so US maps may not be ideal.

There is another (British too?) called Nav4all (I think) that presumably is free and has voice directions, but I did try this one and haven't gotten it to work that way yet.

I got a QStar BT-Q818 receicer (WAAS) and it seems to work great. It has (supposedly) better sensitivity and much longer operating life in a very small device (maybe like a pearl folded in half?). It cost around $75 and came with a 10 day free trial for Wayfinder that I haven't tried yet.

Let me know what you settle on and how it works.
