My tomtom XL freezes then restart me back at the start of selecting my preferences again. I had to reset my GPS and it then had me back to setting up my preferences again. I go through the setup screen of selecting the language, left or right handed, miles or Km, time, voice, and speech preferences. Although when I get to the 2nd page of the speech preferences that has "Read aloud warnings", "Read aloud tips", etc.... when I hit done it freezes for about a half minute then restarts me back at selecting my preferences again. It will not let me past this screen no matter what preferences I select. I have also tried resetting it many times but problem still persists. Please help! Thanks

SOURCE: TomTom XL Text-to-Speech not working

I had the same problem, before realising that text-to-speech on the TomTom XL on'y works if you've selected a *computer-generated" voice - and not all of them are. "Samantha/English-US" is computer-generated, for example, but "Tim/English-UK" is not (it's a recorded voice). When choosing from options in the "Change voice" menu option, check the top-right hand corner to tell whether a voice is computer-generated or not. Hope this helps.

The TomTom XL does not have text to speech. The TomTom XL-S does.

Not all sound files speak out the street names. If you want, street names spoken, you need to select a voice that ends with computer. For example, the voice file selection: Simon, English UK, Computer will speak street names. But the voice file, Bonnie, English US, will not speak Street names. Dave, English US, computer will give you street names but Lori or Mandy, English US will not. Procedure to get the street names spoken: Tap on main screen. Tap on change preferences. Tap on arrow. Tap on change voices. Tap (select) a voice that ends with computer. Tap select. Tap done till you reach the main screen.

try resetting it. you can restore settings or better still get latest operating system by connecting up to internet. downloading the latest operating system and updated basic maps is free. another problem might be that the batteries are low and you may just need to connect to power source. the tomtom one is not the most powerful sat nav, it runs out of battery quickly and has very little memory (only ONE gig) but as long as you use it within its capabilities it is pretty reliable and does the basics very well.... imo
good luck
