My Tomtom can't talk proper!

Recommended Posts

Well you all said I should get one, so I did :shameonu:

Does anyone elses have problems pronouncing road names?

Or saying road numbers incorrectly? :?

It can't pronounce Leicester (lersshhh) or Earlstree (erssshhh)

And it says road numbers as "the A five thousand one hundred and ninety nine" It takes my brain a good few minutes to realise that it means the A five one nine nine :?

I have the Katy voice. Are they all the same or are some better than others?

Otherwise it's great! :lol:

i've got one now too (thanks shaunw!)

 

mine don't talk proper either - can't understand her when she calls the 'ten seventy-nine' the other gobbledegook nonsence. She's got lovely elocution but is inclined to swallow words and town names that embarass her somewhat.

He he Scrambled, all parents are embarrassing. :lol:

 

Yaws ur posher than mine it doesn't say names etc just what to do in an authoritarian voice. I've got the american female voice so I don't have a man telling me what to do and I like going round rotaries. :lol:

I think that mine speaks proper like! The only thing is that I ignore her and then when she says, "Recalculating!" in a cheesed off voice, I feel really guilty!

:D I have Jane in my car, too! I don't think she's ever said a road name or number though - she just says 'keep right', 'exit ahead' and the like.

 

And when I go wrong she very patiently says 'turn around when possible'.

 

But I know that really Jane wants to scream at me 'You've done it again! Do you NEVER listen? I said go left at the last roundabout! Now we're going to be late ...' :lol:

My old one used to stop talking to me after a while as if to say 'you got lost, I told you and now you sort it out' he was terribly unhelpful when I was lost :lol:

You're not the only one - we turn the sound off as well! :lol: - especially as I can't be bothered to add a 'via' to it and I know Jane will try to make every journey we take go on the M40. We only turn the sound back on for finding addresses right at the end.

I think Jane isn't so bright as doesn't know as many words as yours (or cleverer for being more discerning maybe) :?

Her annoying habit is to tell you to turn when it is illegal to do so. There was one dual carriageway with a gap every few metres with no right turn and she kept repeating every few metres with me answering back every few metres :silenced:

We've got Yoda :roll:

 

"Turn left you must"

 

"In 100yds stop you must"

 

It's so annoying but absolutely hilarious!

 

We use to have Jane as well! She's so posh. We first had a Welsh woman :shock: when we bought the Range rover. We could never understand her so swapped it! goodness knows why they would put a welsh person on there :?

May I know what you have against the Welsh ? :lol::wink:

...Ond dw i'n ddim yn cael yn llediaith Cymraeg...unig y tipyn bach. :lol:

 

...But I don't have a Welsh accent...only a little one. :lol:

 

I'm welsh, but my parents are English, Grandparents are Welsh, and so on. :wink:
