Tomtom one europe

Did it get wet? This sounds like an internal problem. Another issue is if it gets too hot - from sunshine. It could be reacting to heat.

Usually, you can download the Reference Guide in PDF or HTML format from the TomTom website. The Reference Guide contains detailed information and full instructions for your TomTom product.

Check this link:

It may be possible that the (Europe) map version that you have doesn't have voice instructions (data) that is compatible with the navigation software (that you have on the TomTom GO 500). If you can indicate the navigation software version and the Europe map version, that possibility can be checked further.

Hi there

As the TomTom is making beeping sounds, its a good indication that its not a hardware fault, it sounds to me its a software issue.

What you could do is try to reinstall the voices on your device. To do this, follow these steps:-

I presume you have TomTom Home installed already, if not you can download it from
http://www.tomtom.com/home

STEP 1 Make a Backup

• Connect your TomTom to the computer and switch it on
• Open TomTom Home
• Click on 'backup and restore' and make a backup if you haven't done so already
  

Once the backup has been made, please do the following:-

STEP 2 Remove the existing voice files

• Open My Computer, you will see the TomTom as two removable drives, one will be the internal memory and one will be for the SD card slot on the device.
• Click into the Internal memory drive, you should see a whole load of files and folders.
• You should see a folder called LoquendoTTS or Loquendo, click into this folder and delete the contents (all the files and folders inside the loquendo folder)
• Go back to the root directory of the TomTom and delete the folder 'Voices'
  

STEP 3 Download and Reinstall the voices via TomTom Home

• Go back to TomTom Home
• Click on Add Maps, traffic and Voices
• Select Voices. Loacate the voice of Jane and Tim and add them to your device
• Go back to the main menu of TomTom Home, click on Add Maps, traffic and Voices -> Computer Voices and install the voice of Kate or Simon (UK English computer voices)
• Close TomTom Home and also Close it from the system tray. (in the bottom right hand corner of your screen down by the computer clock, you should see a red icon for TomTom Home, Right click on it and choose 'exit')
  

STEP 4 Install the Clear Flash Tool from TomTom

• Once Home has closed completely, please download and install the clear flash tool from:- http://www.tomtom.com/updates/clear_flash/clear_flash.exe (Home must be completely closed, otherwise it may not install correctly)
• Accept the license agreement and keep pressing the Next arrow until the clear flash tool has installed.
• Your device will start flashing to say there is some activity on your device
• When your device has finished flashing on the screen (might take a minute), use the 'safely remove hardware' feature of your PC to disconnect the TomTom
• Switch the TomTom off then take it out of the dock.
  

STEP 5 Test the voices

• Switch the TomTom back on, but not connected to the dock
• Let it load up to the main navigation screen
• Tap onto the menu and tap onto 'Change Preferences -> Voice Preferences'.
• Select a non-computer voice i.e. Jane or Tim and press test. You should now hear the voice instruction
• Try selecting the voice of Kate or Simon i.e. the computer voices, and press test, you should now hear the computer voice.
  

This should get the voices working again, if not it might be worth giving TomTom Support a call and they can talk you through it.

Hope this works for you

Power up your tomtom. On the Map screen . Tap the screen , then select " change preferences " , Then scroll right until you see the " Lips " icon , Select the "Lips" under it , it says " select voice " . once in there , you can scroll left or right allowing you to choose the voice / language you require . Hope this helps.

What is happening is your map updates are being copied onto your memory card without overwriting the old maps hence you are running out of memory.

In the tomtom home browser you should be able to delete your old map before installing the new one. Make sure you have a back up of the map card before you try this though so you can reinstall if something goes wrong.

Also have you replaced the voice prompts on your tomtom? The voice files take up a lot of memory so if you have put new ones one without removing the old ones you will be wasting memory.

There is one window in TThome that lists eveything installed on yuor card so have a good look at this and see what you can get rid of.

Try turning the volume down.
