Are you sure you have tts working? The difference between tts and regular voice is that tts says the street names and regular voice does not.

Go into you settings - regional and see if the voice selected says TTS in the selection. If it doesn't then you don't have a TTS voice selected.

please advise.
As far as the screen rotation, maybe someone else will chime in, but with mine if you rotate the program while in use it will mess up the display. I use a program called Gyrator2 that rotates the screen and also lets you configure a program so that it will not rotate. I have set iGO8 to not rotate, then in the iGO8 settings I set it to use sytem settings. That way if I want portrait I simply start the program with my phone in portrait mode, or if I want landscape I start it in landscape mode.

I don't open the keyboard while using iGO8 because it will mess up the display for me every time. I tried the fix that rete suggested but it doesn't effect mine, if I open the keyboard regardless of the mode I am in it rotates the screen.
