Looked on TomTom Home last night and managed to install the Europe map but the North American one has not been downloaded so no update and don't get offered it.
The only TTS voice I get offered is Jane! There are loads of other voices but these appear to be for spoken alerts and not TTS. Where have they all gone? Penny pinching TT again?

Jane is NOT a TTS voice, it is a standard voice!
For the UK, Kate is a TTS voice.
In Tomtom Home, did you select from the main screen
Add Traffic, Voices, Safety Cameras etc
then
Voices
then have 2 options of
Recorded Voices OR Computer voices?? _________________ Tomtom GO 1005 LIVE

Sorry, yes it is Kate. And I have those options. There is just Kate in the computer voice section and loads in the recorded voice section.
Which one is the TTS one?

Try SWITCHING to the America map on the Go before you connect to Home, then run the update again.
Also, "Simon" is the other UK computer/TTS voice you should have, or be offered. |

"Simon has left the building"!! I am not offered Simon, Andy. I will try your map switch trick. TomTom support have emailed me back with detailed instructions for deleting and reinstalling Home and making a backup and other bits to get the map upgrade. The gist of their solution is that if my internet connection is not good enough to compensate for their slow servers, to move house!! Bit drastic to get a map upgrade!
Will try your idea and see if that works. It downloaded the Europe map before giving me the server error and bailing out. Took three days or seemed like three days!
Thanks

Not sure why Home isn't offering it, but you have a PM, Doug... |

Hi Andy,
Got that thanks but really unsure of what to do with it! Found some other ones in the computer voice ones, all mixed up with the normal ones. But not Simon, he has gone AWOL!! Got Jane, Tim but asked about do I want to select a computer voice for reading warnings etc. Thought Jane did that?
