hello, i just got the Tomtom Via 125 as a gift from somebody in Austria,the problem i have is that it doesn t have eglish voice on it,it only has german,and it s preety annoing,can somebody help me install english voice...
Looks like Romania.
To ask a question above in another way...
Were you trying to obtain an English 'computer' voice (one that speaks the street names) or just one of the recorded directional voices that knows words like "turn", some distances, and directions?
You should be able to get one of those latter voice types from someone else with a late model TomTom. They could 'back up' their voice with MyTomTom and you could load that file to your unit with MyTomTom. Stupid that TomTom can't just set one up for you to download, but it appears that their site isn't up to speed as yet.
If it's the former (text to speech) voice that you need ... one wonders if it is possible for TomTom's tech support to push you a full file load of the base firmware that included the voices for the English units. I'd say it's worth a call, but because there's no toll free way to do it from Romania, could be you'd be better off trying email. It's slower, but at least you'd get a response. It's a shame they made such a mess of this by locking the units down the way they have. In the 'old days', we could have had you up and running in no time.
