Warnings
You can set how you want to be warned for different types of cameras, danger zones and hazards.
You can choose to be always warned, warned only if you are speeding, or never warned.
Speed Cameras & hazards
You can choose to switch off all speed camera, danger zone and hazard warnings. When Speed
Cameras & hazards is switched on, you can switch off the warnings for each type of speed camera,
danger zone and hazard.
Additional settings
Traffic jam ahead
Traffic jam warnings in the route bar are part of TomTom Traffic. You can choose never to be
warned or to always be warned when approaching a jam too quickly.
When speeding
This warning is given as soon as you exceed the speed limit by more than 5 km/h or 3 mph.
When you are speeding, the speed panel also turns red in the guidance view.
Screen touch sounds
Switch on Screen touch sounds to hear a click when you select an item or touch a button. The
click sound means that your selection or touch has been understood.
Voices
Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Voices.
Choosing a voice
Select Choose a voice to change the voice that gives spoken directions and other route instructions.
A wide range of voices are available. There are computer voices which can read street names and
other information directly from the map and there are recorded voices which have been recorded
by actors.
Instruction settings
Read aloud arrival time
Use this setting to control whether your arrival time is read aloud.
Read aloud early instructions
For example, if you switch on this setting, you could hear early instructions such as "'After 2 km
take the exit right" or "Ahead, turn left".
Read aloud road numbers
Use this setting to control whether road numbers are read aloud as part of navigation instruc-
tions. For example, when road numbers are read aloud, you hear "Turn left onto A100".
Read aloud road sign information
Note: Computer voices are not available in all languages.
If you need a computer voice and your language is unavailable, then you are asked to choose from
a list of installed computer voices available for the country you are in.
Note: When a recorded voice is chosen, you see only this setting because recorded voices
cannot read out road numbers, road signs, etc.
