So here I am in Brno Czech Republic with a new Via 135 which is useless. It refuses to recognise any city or city code outside the UK. POS will show me where exactly I am on the map but when I start to type an address only UK suggestions appear and now the spoken address mode has disappeared. So back to google maps on my phone to get home FF's
Maybe I have missed something and I am being stupid, you all can decide.6ea7bcab-559e-4ec9-8b12-a19da54dd4bb.jpge33f3fba-84af-4984-8b92-0c654427e000.jpg57113b59-cbb7-47ca-ac9a-6a7c3468a1d3.jpg5d349093-2041-457c-903c-6b2ba1ed1d02.jpg
I have only used TomTom for many years but time for a change me thinks.

    Hi
    @GeoffDowey

    Firstly I assume your Device has the Full Europe Map ???

    Use the screen in your example
    BEFORE you enter any data
    As your from the UK on the screen top-right will be the UK Union flag
    Tap the UK Union flag.
    The Map list menu will open choose the appropriate Countries flag
    Note... The list scrolls Up & Down
    You can now type in your required destination
    Don't forget to reset back to the UK when you come home

    Enjoy your Trip

    Hi

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

    RESETTING YOUR NAVIGATION DEVICE

    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......

    If possible, for the for the first Satellite fix, go outside with a clear view of the Sky
