Thread: Does a TomTom One IQ Europe or XL IQ read out street names ?

If they plug the gap then so be it. I still don't understand why TTS is removed from the UK models when other parts of Europe and the US have it. All to save a few beans on Loquendo licensing and hope no one notices! _________________ Andy TT XL LIVE IQ Routes (what TTS??) App 8.419.1257 W&CE 2GB 835.2419

Similar to the situation with 720's where European models has VR and North American models were not meant to have it. A simple 'hack' resolved the issue (this was back with N7.10) and our models have had it ever since .... Mind you, more hype than anything ... _________________ David TomTom 720 NA map 835 WE map 830 NZ map 835

Enjoy it while you can, if they do put the plug in to stop this from working then you have the option to stick with the current Navcore and TTS with the 835 map and possibly the next new map when ever that appears, its a stupid situation where users in North America and certain parts on Mainland Europe can purchase an XL with TTS but in the UK the option isn't available. Perhaps it would be acceptable for TomTom to offer TTS on the XL...

Thanks for the info. It sounds a bit too techy for me. I don't want to crash my unit. GPSSimon

Time to replace my old one V2 Europe and I am looking for a new GPS that reads out the street names, text to speech I think it is called. Had a look on TomTom site but not really very clear. I need Europe Maps as I take it on holiday to Spain. ( I am nice like that ) I don't need Blue tooth, handsfree, live or Mp3 players etc, just a GPS that works. Can anyone tell me if a One IQ or XL IQ reads out street names rather than just saying...

From previous posts this should not be spoke about publically as TT will just bring out a new APP and it will stop this workaround as it is NOT for EU units. Maybe remove this too Andy. _________________ TomTom ONE XL LIVE IQ routes Edition TomTom GO 710 in the drawer now Ian

Same here... I'd like to know, as I MAY be buying a XL IQ to replace MY One v2...
