Voice instructions have stopped working

TopDeadCenter

I have had the VIA 1625TM for about a month. Yesterday the voice instructions stopped working. The device still announces the estimated time of arrival but the turn by turn instructions no longer function. The settings in VOICES under instruction settings still show they are turned ON for the "Read arrival time out loud" and "Read early instructions out loud"

Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

Hi
@TopDeadCenter

Check....
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu)
On the latest NAV4 or NAV5 (Wi-Fi) Devices its really easy to have fat finger syndrome and tap one of the sound Icons when swiping through the menus

Also... Have you tried a Soft/Drum roll restart on the device ??? This restarts the devices Operating System afresh

Charge the device for at least 2Hrs "OR" have the device plugged into a power supply
Press and hold the on/off button until you hear a drum-roll sound then release the on/off button.
You won’t lose anything; it’s just like rebooting your PC
I use a Soft/drum-roll start after any upgrade large or small.
It’s also useful to keep in mind for sorting out most minor niggles......

Hi
@brian_doolan_4
I suppose the realistic answer is NO...
Yes... You can add the .Ov2 file, you could display the speedcam locations using one of the 5 limited POI Icon shapes, but you would NOT get an advanced Spoken warning or a Warning sound

For general improvement using the Tomtom Speed Cam Database over the default settings

Always use a Computer voice...
Serena or Malcolm in the UK
Also....
From the main screen... Tap (.... Menu) -> Setting -> Sounds & Warnings...
Set... 'Warning Type' to... Read Allowed... (Important... Needs a Computer Voice set in the Voices menu)
Speed Cameras & Hazards... Set to ON
The next 10 Setting ALL set to Always
The next 4 Settings ALL set to ON
The device will now say....
'Fixed Camera'
'Mobile Hot Spot'
'Red-light Camera'
'Accident Black-spots
‘Spoken Traffic delays’

Speed Cams
If you keep a check on the Traffic-bar... The device gives you a visual Warning of the next Fixed or Mobile Speed Camera many miles before you reach the camera
Even more info if in the 'Setting menus' you setup a Wide Traffic/Route Bar
