TomTom Android Questions   

TomTom Android Questions

Postby Zakkary123 » Wed Jul 31, 2013 12:40 am

Hey guys, hoping someone here can help with TT android. currently have a working version of 1.2, however map version is only 900.xxx (not sure exact version). I have two questions:
1. Is there a guide to updating and activating maps with fast activate or similar for ANDROID versions?
2. Is there a guide to get premium voices working on android? Currently have others (e.g. John Cleese) working by editing vif file, but premium voices such as homer have no sound.

I have searched this and other forums but cannot get these working due to androids lack of ".bif" files so a step-by-step guide might be useful for other users also.

Thanks,

1. Very, very hard to miss - if you would read the threads in the section you post a thread that is...
2. The TT homepage would tell you that this feature is not available for Android.

I also uploaded a collection of Android voices (non premium), you are certain you did check for what you are looking for?? ;)

Sorry missed the sticky (was using my phone on mobile data - frustrating!). I understand there is no official support for voices but they can be used, I have many. I have downloaded several packs and gotten homer, but it is not the real version. I have the files and meta.text for several voices and can see them in the app, just no sound as they are not activated. Is there no way to use premium voices on android?

Thanks for your reply and sorry for missing the obvious!

See pont 2. above ;)
If it would be possible we would offer the voices for Android.

So there is an android specific reason we cannot use premium voices? I thought I had read somewhere of people doing it with fastactivator, are you saying this is not possible?

Why are you nagging about a problem that TT has to solve?
I told you it is not supported, also that you read about on TT homepage.
And I already said several times that it won't work -even if you ask another 10 times ;)

Didn't mean to come across as nagging, I'm new to GPS and swamped with info. Thank you for your help.

It is a difference between too much info and repeating the same question several times.
But as I said first check the official website for info on the program - if features are not listed there, you won't find a solution anywhere else.
The Android version is IMHO still in the beta stages every new version offers one or two new features, so we need to wait for a 1.3 or maybe even 2.0 until all features we know from normal PNA's will be included.
