Set-

tings

Menu.

Set Home Location

Tap this option to set or change your Home location. Set your Home location in the same

way that you select a destination.

Having a Home location means that you have a quick and easy way to navigate there, by

tapping the Home button in the Navigate To... menu

Your Home location can be a place you go often, for example, your office. It can be your

actual home address, but it can also be any address you like.

Voice

Tap this option to select the voice used for instructions. The TomTom app has two differ-

ent kinds of voices:

• Computer voices

The TomTom app makes use of text-to-speech technology to generate computer

voices. They provide spoken instructions while you are driving and can pronounce

street names and status messages.

A text-to-speech program converts written text, for example an instruction like "Turn

right", into the sound of a human voice.

Note: Computer voices are not available in all regions or for all languages.

If you select a human voice, this can give instructions but is not able to read street names

aloud. If you would like street names to be included with instructions, you need to select

a computer voice.

• Human voices

These are recorded by an actor.

When you select a voice, a sample of that voice is played.

You can select a voice in any language. The language used for menus and buttons does

not change if you select a voice in a different language.

Alerts

Tap this option to turn on safety alerts.

Note: Alerts are not available in all regions.
