Shoppers: TomTom's no longer offer FM transmitting of voice instruction but TomTom & its retailers continue to FALSELY ADVERTISE the feature.
Existing TomTom users: if you update firmware above 8.01 you LOSE the feature also. TomTom has disabled this feature for the entire world. Garmin, took a much more logical approach & only disabled it in 2 European countries that ban FM tranmission.
BUY THE GARMIN - better maps and no tricky updates or false advertising.
Also wiping my 940 and setting up from scratch had the same effect, no voice control and dimmed icon for the voice control preferences, but adding the file fixed it. A sigh of relief here....
I have a Nuvi 750... if I would have known that the Tom Tom does this, I would have bought that instead... I this is even less expensive! Bummer for me!
Hi, I put that file into the directory and it shows up on the tomtom, but when I go to input an address it says speech files not installed, any suggestions?
I don't know why my tomtom go 720 doesn't have this feature.
Maybe because I'm in Brazil. Would be?
Anybody know?

Unfortunately, this feature gets REMOVED if you update the basic software in the 720.

I put the text file into the ASR folder and the speech showed up on the tomtom, but when I try to input an address it does not work. Any suggestions?
