TT GO 730T and text-to-speech….

[g0tch]

….Where the heck do I find it? I’ve been looking for it for days since I loaded the speed camera files from this site and wanted to add text-to-speech. The PDF file mentions it on page 17 and 109, but doesn’t say how to get there. Can someone who knows please hold my hand and direct me to it. Perhaps something needs to be ticked for it to show? Is it only available on 930?

Many thanks,

But if it's for speed camera alerts (and assuming you're using our speed camera files) why not use our pre-recorded real voice alerts. Follow the link in my signature.

The experts here will advise you on that matter, I'm sure.

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do. The easiest (and best) method for getting real voice warnings for our cameras is to use the voice packages we have available via the link in my signature.

If you do want to use TTS warnings:

Change preferences | Manage POIs | Warn when near POI

Select the POI e.g. "Pocketgps uk gatso 20"

Set your warning distance using the table below as a guide:


And then on the next screen you type in your own warning.



Click done and then repeat for all the other POIs. Or take my advice and use our real voice warnings!

Thank you Darren,

For some reason I just couldn't get to the selestion page. Don't know what I was doing wrong, but it's all working now, thanks for your post.

PS. I have a few more questions regarding making latitude/longitude as home address as there is no house numbers for my road and what is the most common in use between degrees/minutes/seconds etc.
Do I use this thread or need to create a new one for each with a suitable subject?

Regards,

Can you not just browse to the home location on the map and then record that as 'HOME'?

Change Preferences | Change Home location | Point on map

Or do it when you are home. Change Preferences | Change Home location | GPS Position

Or, stand where you want the Home location to be (with the Device switched on and a GPS fix), and go to Change Preferences | Change Home location | My location.

But you have to make sure your Home location is a spot that the unit can plan a route to. In other words, if you select Home to be in the middle of a big yard or farm or something off the road, then the next time you try to Navigate to--Home, you may find 'no route found' or, at best, a routing that takes you to the closest road near where your Home is located.

[Oldboy]

That's a good point.

Thanks for all the replies.

Change Preferences | Change Home location | Point on map worked just fine.
I’m a bit embarrassed but did say in my first post somewhere else that I was new to TomTom.

What I can’t understand is that although we have been living at this address for nearly 12 years and until 3 years ago we weren’t even on the map. The road (Close) appeared on Autoroute 2007 but without house numbers. I wonder why it takes map makers so long to update them.

I will probably have some more questions to ask please bear with me.

Regards,
