Tomtom saying place names very weirdly with a $ in their name

phrunt

I have the latest TomTom software on my VIA 280 and the latest map. If I set a city called Invercargill to my destination it calls it Invercar NT $ Gill rather than Invercargill.. This is most frustrating as I drive to this city often using the GPS.

Is there a way to fix this? It's like there is some form of typo in the name for the speech?

I should mention this is with the New Zealand map.

It's the speech that says Invercar NT $ Gill, the Spelling on the screen is correct.

@phrunt

Those are the current latest, but which computer voice are you using?
"Karen" ? Maybe need to reinstall the one you have

I will give that a try, thank you.

I am certain it's a problem with the map, happens with multiple voices, I've removed and installed the voices and still happening. It happens on every voice I've tried, Karen was the one I was on but it happens on the other speech voices also.
