TomTom NDS 1.7.3.b.528

@aspirin624 I talk about TTS.

In an older version from TT there was an Lab-option for TTS. They removed this option.

If you now install the never versions on devices this is not working anymore.

You have to install an older version with this lab-option. Enable TTS voices and then install newest version on top.

Now TTS is working.

@JhonnyB,

Please a little more details about TTS files and TomTom NDS and screen shots.

What older TomTom NDS app are you talking about????

Computer voices are TTS voices.

No need to install any other TTS program.

The GPS uses the Google voice engine

In fact that has been for a very long time now.

Quite strange, as Sygic has it, and they take info from TomTom??? On tomtom website (MyDrive) there is traffic info for Slovenia.

<No traffic visible issue>
Maybe you have to change settings in the Others > Privacy menu > Sent location to receive services
Zabig from Slovenia reported the same issue. Maybe it's a country issue as reported earlier. I am located in the vincinity of Tomtom headquarters in the Netherlands and can tell TT NDS Traffic works smooth&easy here!

The thing is traffic does work correct in Austria, Slovakia and Hungary, all 3 countries I was recently driving through. The only one that doesn't show any traffic is Slovenia. I'll try to upload some screenshots later today. Oddly enought, I can see Slovenia traffic in Sygic truck version....

Cheers,

It is possible to use, for example, Google TTS when installed.

Then you can use TTS voices instead of the voices from TT you can download.

If you cant use TTS voices at the moment you have to install version 1.1.4 for example. In this older version you can set use installed TTS voices in the lab-settings.

Then you can install the newest version and you can still use installed TTS voices from Google etc.

@JhonnyB,

Are you mixing up the TomTom apps???

TomTom Android 1.4 APK Old not used any more

Then came:

TomTom Go Mobil Traffic v1.14.1 / Tomtom Go Mobil Traffic replaced TomTom Android 1.4
TomTom Go is now up to v2.0.5 now used NDS maps

Next Generation app

TomTom Navigation v 1.1.4.105 New NDS version which is now up to v1.7.3

All 3 are different apps that TomTom has come out with.

There has never been a problem with computer voices aka TTS voices on TomTom NDS app

The same with TomTom Go Mobil Traffic they both work OK with computer voices aka TTS voices

**milosgbg** · 25th January 2020, 07:26 PM

Ok, that's strange - it seems that TomTom do account traffic, but it doesn't display it

Spoiler: large pic

I guess tomtom uses info from mydrive website (and I do have Online routing option enabled), as otherwise you could turn left from starting point.

Cheers,

I can see you have traffic info in Slovakia on the Tomtom Mydrive website. Rather strange this traffic data is not sending to your phone!
edit: our postings crossed in time. Clear view...

I do not understand why version 1.7.3 does not look for addresses by the house number. Version 1.3.4 searches for the house number. The latest version that allows this is 1.5.3.

@aspirin624

I think my english is horrible or you just dont understand what i try to tell.

I talk about TT NDS not GO or whatever...

So if you have a new head unit, smartphone, tablet or whatever and install the newest TT NDS app on it, it cant use TTS (Google) you just can pick voices downloaded in the app.

So if you want to use TTS-voices (Google) then you gave to install the older version where you can choose use TTS installed on devices. This option was under TT-lab settings...

So first you have to install 1.1.4 for EXAMPLE. In lab options choose use TTS. Then install 1.7.3 and you can use TTS (google).

We have tried on 3 devices.

Try it by yourself. Take a device where TT is not installed. Install 1.7.3 an try to use TTS-voices in the app, it does not work.

If you still do not understand what i try to tell here, we have to find a language we both understand each other

Or someone who understand what i talk about can tell it better.

And this is my last try to tell. Three times are enough for me.
