My 6250 Truck Nav does not give me verbal directions, such as turn left at the roundabout, I have tried resetting it and it will work for a short period then stop again, and if it can't find a destination it shuts down
Hi @carpets5
Welcome to the site...
Have you tried a Soft/Drum roll restart on the device ??? This restarts the devices Operating System afresh
RESETTING YOUR NAVIGATION DEVICE https://help.tomtom.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360013957499-Resetting-your-navigation-device
Charge the device for at least 2Hrs….
(Preferably using something like a Smartphone Charger using the Tomtom USB lead)
OR have the device plugged into a power supply while the device is restarting
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....
___________________________
Are any of the sound Icons slashed through or is the volume slider set to zero....
Are you using a TTS (Text to speech) Computer Voice ???
Here in the UK its Serena or Malcolm...
I would always choose a TTS (Text to speech) Computer Voice over the recorded voices.... The TTS Computer voices have a far greater range of vocabulary than the limited 56 sound samples of the recorded voices....
