You can load any of the voice skins that are available, from John Cleese to George Bush and all the rest, if its there then it will go on your TT1V2.
Speed camera voice notification also works file from this very web site version currently 6.50 no update for the V2 yet unlike the other TT models which can go up to 6.51. |

I had a Garmin i3 that I have recently changed for a TomTom 1 (original)
The Garmin is a good unit but I found it quite suspetable to canyon syndrome i.e. it lost signal quite easily, also as I had been previously using TT on a PDA I was used to the way TomTom routes and the Garmin unit I found not as good (for me). I would recommend the TomTom 1 as it has a better screen, is more flexible etc etc. You won;t be disappointed. |

hi all got it today well impressed
the only thing i could say about the garmin was the selection wheel was a bit of a pain cause if you got a wrong letter you have to go all the way to the bottom to delete
but the tom tom 1 is the dogs dangely bits lets hope those scumbags dont get there hands on this one
thanks for all your replys
cheers
