Have you tried contacting TomTom Support (online via email or by phone) to get some help ? They will likely require you to verify your purchase (of the map) and/or your registered GPS device (model, etc.)
The battery does not charge anymore
Usually, the battery life can (quickly) decrease if your GPS is always plugged into a power source (even when not in use).Like all such (lithium) batteries, to keep the battery healthy, it's better to charge it fully, then use / deplete it fully (while not plugged into a power source) and repeat the charge cycle.If your battery doesn't charge anymore, you'll just have to use the GPS while it is plugged in. If that is even not possible (because the device actually use the battery to power it, and not the direct current from the charger), you may want to consider replacing the battery. Or, replace your GPS.
Unit is searching for gps signal but unable to
charge it up via the usb to computer cable for a few hours, then take it outside in clear view of the open sky and restart the unit and let it sit there up to 30 minutes.
if that fails, an update will probably cure the problem.

TomTom XL Text-to-Speech not working
I had the same problem, before realising that text-to-speech on the TomTom XL on'y works if you've selected a *computer-generated" voice - and not all of them are. "Samantha/English-US" is computer-generated, for example, but "Tim/English-UK" is not (it's a recorded voice). When choosing from options in the "Change voice" menu option, check the top-right hand corner to tell whether a voice is computer-generated or not. Hope this helps.
South African downlaod
Hello Mk 1,
It appears TomTom does have maps of South Africa available. To purchase and download one go to the
TomTom Maps Store website and then select your GPS model and the map you are interested in.
Best Regards,
Ken

Speaking the names of major streets
It will only tell you the names of the streets if you use the COMPUTER voice. The other voices will not announce street names. So go to your voice selection and pick the computer voice...either male or female.
