GPS not talking directions

Hi

I have a HTC Desire and am having trouble with the GPS. I can turn it on, it finds me accurately, it gives me directions to where I want to go.

Is there a way to make it talk the directions to me because when driving looking at the screen for turn by turn instruction is impractical and dangerous.

I am using the default Maps (Google) program which comes with it.

I cannot find anywhere to get it to talk the directions to me in its settings. I would like to migrate to this from my standalone GPS if I can get this to work.

I welcome any suggestions for a free alternative from the market that will do this if it can't be done with Maps (Google).

Sorry if this has been asked before or is in the wrong section but I couldn't find the answer with the keywords I used in a search.

Thank you
