Tom Tom Navigator 5 - European Maps - No voice

[Middlers]

I use TT Navigator 5 on my PDA and have recently bought the European maps. I put the Spanish maps on before Christmas and went to Barcelona - the mapping was OK but I couldn't get a voice to work. The same is now happening for my next trip to France. Can someone please suggest a remedy? Thanks

Is it only on these maps, or on ALL maps?

Did you leave TT running and power off the PDA? Some devices don't like this, and lock out audio in TT for some reason. Only way to get back in my exp is a SOFT reset.

Synchronise with your Desktop and use ActiveSync - Explore to see if you have the data05.chk file (if you are using Jane's voice) in Mobile Device - My Documents - TomTom, which if it is should work on all maps.

If it's not there check in the GB map folder to see if it's there. If it is this would explain your problem and you will need to cut and paste it to the correct position.

Failing that, you can put a new folder on to your SD Card and name it Voices. Cut and paste the data05.chk file, and any other voices you may need, into the new Voices folder.

I think it is on all maps but haven't used UK maps since so will give it a try and see. A soft reset hasn't solved it.
I will also check the data files etc - hopefully this won't be too difficult. Thank you both for your assistance, I will let you know the outcome when I get home tonight.

Many thanks Border Collie. After a lot of messing around cutting and pasting I eventually got it in the correct place and it appears to be working. I'll only reaaly know when I get to the other side of the channel next month.
