|

Just bought a TomTom Go 920 off ebay. I have been playing around with the different features and would like to navigate to an address using my speech.
However the SPOKEN ADDRESS icons and not showing.
Please help.
Regards,
Alan.

Welcome to the forum Alan from another local chap!
When you say the icons don't show are they grey in appearance and cannot be selected, or do they not appear at all?
Where did the device come from - UK or overseas - Mike |

The icons do not appear at all...
Delivered from the UK, but could well be an American import.

That could well be the problem
There is much discussion about the same thing on new x30 model in this forum.
Early buyers seem to have got "grey imports" intended for another country which don't have the correct speech files installed for the UK. They have now been made available by TT, but I'm not sure if the same files would work for you.
Have a look through the (long) "Go930 unboxing" topic, to get started. |

Thankyou Andy. I will try and read this post soon. I have also emailed TomTom technical support the question. Will post again after they respond.

Thanks again for your help on this problem. I did discover how to get vsr to work after I found this on ebay
"It's an Northern American version - it doesn't recognize spoken addresses in Europe unless you update it yourself, download this file and unpack it in the folder with European maps: http://www.tomtom.com/updates/ASR_Western_Europe.zip
but first you will have to delete all the files starting with cspeech*.* from the folder with Northern American maps".
I did as directed and I now have speech input on my Go920. |

You should find that if you put the NA map and voice files in one memory location (like a sd card) and the European map and its voice files in another (such as internal memory), you'll have VR for both maps when you use them. |

You are welcome. As with most good ideas, I learn from others, in this case from infama, a member of some NA forums who shows up here on occasion. |
