GO 910 text to voice

[fasterem]

Ok just got my 910, how do I activate names of streets? Also it didn't come with home dock is there any other way to upgrade maps and add music?

You need a computer voice for the text to speech to work.

Why no home dock? Where did you get the unit? Anyway, replacement docks can be found here

ok, there wasn't any computer voices installed from factory??? I only have a few voices avalible and none say computer voices?? I bought this second hand so it didn't come with a home dock, is there any other way to connect? any cables that will attach to the suction mount to connect to computer or do anything with wireless? if I do a factory reset will I get any computer voices if they were deleted?
thanks

I thought that the 910 was text to speech capable. Restoring to factory defaults won't do anything.

I do not think that a standard mini usb plug connector works on your model but look around for a cabele like that to see if it'll work.

Have a look at the device using Windows explorer and is there a LoquendoTTS or loqendotts folder on the device, if there is right click it and select properties, what is the folder size?

The 910 did have TTS when new, in fact the TTS files took up a huge 4GB of data storage on the 20GB Hard Drive! If you don't have a copy of these files you will have to find another TomTom 910 owner who is willing to burn the LoquendoTTS folder to a DVD disk for you to install on your device.

As for getting at the device from the PC, you really do need the desktop docking cradle, it is possible to mess around using Bluetooth to communicate with the device once its set up, but to set it up requires access from the PC to start with so thats not much use - Mike
