Set Home Location

Tap this option to set or change your Home location. Select the address for your Home

location in the same way that you select a destination.

Your Home location can be somewhere you often visit, such as your office. This feature

provides an easy way to navigate there by tapping the Home button in the Navigate To

menu.

Voice

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

different 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 languages.

If you select a recorded human voice, this can say instructions but is unable to read aloud

street names. 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 switch on safety alerts.

Safety Camera

Adjust this setting to switch on visual warnings in the Driving View. You can also select a

safety warning alert sound.
