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.
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.
Instruction settings
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".
Note: When a recorded voice is chosen, you see only this setting because recorded voices cannot read out road numbers, road signs, etc.
Use this setting to control whether road numbers are read aloud as part of navigation instructions. For example, when road numbers are read aloud, you hear "Turn left onto A100".
Use this setting to control whether street names are read aloud as part of navigation instructions. For example, when street names are read aloud, you hear "Turn left Graham Road towards Hackney."
Use this setting to control whether foreign street names are read aloud as part of navigation instructions, such as "Turn right Champs Élysées". For example, an English computer voice can read and pronounce French street names but pronunciation may not be completely accurate.
