screen text to the selected language.

change the language of user-entered data
or map data, such as street names.
Voice Language—change the
language for voice prompts. Languages
noted with a person’s name are text-
to-speech (TTS) voices, which have an
extensive vocabulary and pronounce
the street names as you approach
turns. The pre-recorded voices (those
without a person’s name) have a limited
vocabulary and do not speak names of
locations or streets.

24-hour, or UTC time format.
