Thanks for pointing that out. Somewhere along the line I got the impression that the 705 and 800 both had voice if you bought the maps. The Amazon product description says that the Edge 705 has "spoken" prompts. I just checked their reviews and one of the reviewers pointed out the Amazon description was wrong.

I can deal with just a "beep". Does the beep come before the turn or at the turn? I'd like an advanced warning ( at least a couple hundred feet. )
