How to Toggle a Street Announcement on a Garmin Zumo 550

Garmin's Zumo 550 is a motorcycle GPS device with automatic navigation instructions. The device includes audio directions that tell you where to turn if you use the navigation feature. By default, the Garmin Zumo 550 announces the street name in the navigation instructions by saying things like "turn left on Main Street." You can disable the street announcement part of the navigation feature by selecting a voice without text-to-speech features. The voice only uses pre-recorded audio like "turn left" or "turn right" and doesn't announce street names.
