That is correct. The 'comedy' voices will just say 'turn left' etc ... the computer generated ones will say the street names.

Re: Sat Nav Tom Tom Australia Maps
Can anyone tell me how much the tom tom 520s are? I have tried googling but only seem to be able to find accessories.
I am toying with if it would be cheaper to buy one before we go, but then if it goes wrong we are a bit buggered.
Hubbie would like one of those phones with built in sat nav

I assume you have a holdor for it on the dash?

Well we have had a devil of a problem trying to up load the maps:curse: Now it is saying we have them on the memory stick but we cannot confirm they are there. Do we have to wait until we get to oz before they 'appear'?

On my GO 910 I couldn't download it to my apple macbook, so had to download tomtom home 2.1 from tomtom plus services on tomtom.com onto my windows pc, then when I connected my tomtom it opened tomtom home & downloaded my updates inc Australia map which I then had click on to install, now works perfectly, I've planned my route from Sydney airport to my brothers in Manly then on to my rental in Terrigal for this wednesday when we fly yipppeeee
Hope this helps

If you turn it on, touch screen, go to change preferences then forward to manage maps, then switch map & it should show the maps you have.
