Thread: Formated Tomtom

Hi,

Total newbie here. I have a Tomtom go 520. I had problems with the screen not responding to touch. Before discovering this forum, I listened to other so called in the knows and was lead to believe that it could be a software issue. I tried all the usual stuff like factory reset, reloading software through tomtom home etc. none of these things worked. Then someone suggested formatting the device and reloading everything from scratch.

I formatted the device and wiped everything from the device and reconnected to tomtom home. It finds the device, says it needs updates and does its thing. Still the screen was not responding.

I bought myself and new screen and fitted the screen. Now the screen works, so my fault all along was a faulty screen. Now I have a device with a working screen but whenever I turn on the device, it comes on, asks for date, time and which voice I want but that's as far as it goes. The next screen I get is no maps found

Please any advice would be really appreciated.

Start over again.
Format (quickly) the internal drive as FAT32.

Then download the last navcore for your device:

Copy the content of the archive into the device.

For the Loquendo TTS voices, download them from the following links (chose the language you need/like):

Deploy the content of each voice archive into the directory "LoquendoTTS".

Maps have to be restored too, off course.

Hi, You mention "Deploy the contents of each voice into the directory LoquendoTTS"
I have been struggling with this Loquendo file for ages and it has initially two directories... 'bin' and 'lib'. The main directory Loquendo only has the licenceCode7.tx file and the default7.session file.
The bin directory has all the voice data in.
I also have a Data Directory containing two further Directories Voices and Language.
I have messed with these for ages and at most can only ever get two voices to appear in the "Change Voice" option on the TT under "preferences"
What actually is the right contents for each of these as they vary and I can't seem to get a happy mix??

That's why I was proposing you to start over from scratch and not to reuse any old backup, except for maps restore.
The "data" directory you mention is something I've never seen. I don't have it and everything works nicely on my Go920.

There are two types of official TomTom navigation voices:

- Standard voices that come pre-installed on every TomTom device. They are recorded voices and give you spoken instructions for your route.
Standard voices are stored into the "voice" directory.

- Computer voices that use text-to-speech technology to read street names, incoming text messages, weather information, etc.
Computer voices are stored into the LoquendoTTS directory.

Each of the Loquendo archives I linked above has the correct folder tree which is needed to install into the LoquendoTTS directory. As already said, just deploy them into LoquendoTTS.
This is how the LoquendoTTS directory shall look like for a correct installation:

Standard voices (to be copied into "voice" directory) can be downloaded from here:

Thanks for your detailed reply, however I made a new TTS folder and setup like you suggested but doesn't work. I probably have not got the sub directories correct or the right files loaded. Under the main LoquendoTTs folder I made one called "bin" and four different folders named after each computer voice...kate-Simon-etc etc. Included all the contents of each voice as supplied by you download links.
So it looks like this:
LoquendoTTS
bin
Simon
Kate
Dave
Susan
This is obviously incorrect as no voices are available when starting the TT. Only normal voices as per the Voices folder in the main TT directory.
Would you mind just detailing it out again as a bit hard for me to follow

@ Audio : Thx for Help
@ Mod : Tutorials or Discussion ??? Thread....I'm confused

the lastest Version of TTS Voices are 700

@ Kaygill

try this......overwrite the Folder Loquendo TTS on your Device with the Files in my Attachment(zippyshare)


maybe Kate , Susan and Katrin are possible....My Own Source....good Luck

Thanks to both of you guys for the input and much appreciated.
My partner has a list of jobs for me today so can't try anything till Monday or Tuesday.
Will let you know how I go.

Ok, After spending most of this morning trying these different things out as detailed above I have found the following:
I think maybe the Navcore has a lot to do with it: I am using a TT One with 9.510 Navcore. This has been working just fine.
Now "Audiofilo68" I realized your term "deploy" meant "extract" which after doing created all the directories as you detailed out for me. However after trying all the different voices, on their own or two installed, I still got no sound what so ever. They didn't even show in the Voice Option under "preferences' so could not select them to try at all.
Reverted back to yours "Schwan1" and started to get some success. With this Navcore I can only get "Dave" and "Susan" to work (Susan's English is not good so not selected) Therefore all I have now is "Dave" who sounds good enough. Before with earlier navcores i was using Kate but she refuses to work with this (.510) Simon doesn't work either. Seems a mistake to have more than Two computer voices installed into Loquendo at any one time. More than that seems to turn them all off.
Interesting findings and I seem to remember someone else saying that in another post.
Thanks to you both again for the help. It takes up so much time trying all these things out. Maybe another navcore will react differently.
Cheers
