About computer voices
Your Navigation Device uses text-to-speech technology and computer voices to read the
street names on your map as it guides you on your route.
The computer voice analyses the whole phrase or sentence before speaking, to ensure that
the sentence sounds as close as possible to natural speech.
Computer voices can recognise and pronounce foreign towns and street names. For
example, the English computer voice can read and pronounce French street names.
Selecting a voice
To select a different voice on your Navigation Device, tap Vo i c e s in the Settings menu. Then
tap Change voice and select the required voice.
Changing the volume level
The volume for the navigation system can be controlled in 2 ways:
1. Changing the volume by tapping the middle par t of the status (lower) bar of the driving-
view.
2. Turning the volume-dial on the AUDIO while navigation-instructions are played.
Note that these changes are independent from each other. You can set the volume to very low
on the AUDIO and full-open on the Navigation device and you will still hear little sound. We
recommend to use only one way to change the volume. In case you hear no/little sound,
please check the volume on the navigation device and if not set to a low volume, please turn
the dial on the AUDIO while a navigation instruction is playing (tap the middle part of the
status-bar to force an instruction to be played).
Note: Computer voices are not available in all languages.
If you require a computer voice and your language is unavailable, then you need to install
and use the English language computer voice. For more information on computer voices,
