How to install the voices
After you've paid for the voices you'll be
taken to the download page. You will also receive an e-mail with the link to
download the pack, simply save the file to your desktop
Once downloaded you will need to unzip the
contents to your desktop, you may need
winzip to do this if you do
not have it installed on your PC already.
There is no magic or high-tech trickery
involved in installing your newly purchased voices, but we strongly advise you
to make a full backup of your SD card (Classic, 300, 500, ONE or Rider) or your
Hard Drive or Internal Memory (700, 910, ONE or any other variation thereof)
before you make any changes to the software on your TomTom GO (in the following
text we will commonly refer to all TomTom devices as TomTom).. When your TomTom
is connected to a computer through a USB port always wait until any action you
are running (copying the files, upgrading the application, installing the maps)
is complete before disconnecting or switching off the TomTom. Failure to do so
may damage the data on the SD card or the Hard Drive.
The voice package from this site comes in a
compressed (zipped) folder voice_name.zip and contains three files:
dataXX.chk - the voice file dataXX.vif - the voice description file dataXX.bmp - the voice picture file
where XX is the voice number, for instance
data05.chk, which, incidentally, is "Jane". The standard TomTom voice files are
not accompanied by the picture files. You will need to copy all three files to
the directory (folder) where the voice files are kept on your TomTom.
Step 1.
Create a directory (folder) called VOICES on your computer
Step 2.
Extract the files from the downloaded compressed folder voice_name.zip to the
VOICES directory (folder)
Step 3.
Connect your TomTom to your computer via the USB port according to TomTom manual
Your computer should see the TomTom as a
"Removable Disk". You can now copy the files to and from the TomTom. The
procedure is slightly different for the GO Classic and the 3/5/700, 5/7/910,
ONE, or Rider series because of the different location of the voice files.
Step 4 for GO Classic
When you GO is connected to your computer you
should see something similar to this:
As you can see there are two standard voices
already installed on this GO: data04.chk and data05.chk. All you need to do is
to copy the files from the VOICES directory (folder) which you created in Step 1
to the same directory (folder) where data04.chk and data05.chk are.
Step 4 for GO 3/5/700
, 5/7/910, ONE and Rider
When you GO is connected to your computer you
should see something similar to this:
There is a directory (folder) called "voices"
on your GO - that's where all the voices files are. If you open this directory
(folder) you should see something similar to this:
As you can see there are plenty of voices
already installed on this particular GO. All you need to do is to copy the files
from the VOICES directory (folder) which you created in Step 1 on your computer
to the voices directory (folder) on your TomTom.
Step 5.
Wait till all the operations have been completed, then switch off and disconnect
your TomTom.
Now switch the unit on again (it will go
through the loading stage with two red hands), tap the screen, then tap Change
preferences -> Change voice and use left and right arrows to select the newly
installed voice(s).
