SatNav in Wales

[Rabbers]

Purely for curiosity's sake, since I am not likely to ever need to find out for myself, is anyone able to report on how Lexus Navigation copes

with Welsh-language town- and street-names?   I ask because Voice Guidance in any language other than that of the country or region being

navigated almost inevitably contains mispronunciations that can be quite amusing but are sometimes so incomprehensible as to make you

miss an exit or a turn.  Voice Control, I imagine, would be useful only if you can manage to get your tongue around the names sufficiently 

well to get a serviceable list of prompts, though the absence of Welsh from the system's linguistic repertoire might well mean that any attempt

to do so would in any case be a non-starter.

This query was prompted by recent posts in the SatNav Map Updates thread which mention, albeit for reasons that presumably have nothing

to do with language,  unwanted tours around the back streets of Cardiff.

No problem with sat nav pronunciation of place names on Anglesey. Mind you have not heard it say Llanfairpwllgwynngyll  yet.

Some of the pronunciations when we were in Continental Europe were hilarious!

its a little off topic,i've had a txt read out in the car from argos and its pronounced argoes

the only issue i have had with the sat nav is when i was travelling to Northwich the sat nav

told me i was heading for Norwich.
