c330 voice prompt problem
|

| I recently upgraded my software to ver 4.8 and now I only get the voice
prompt for directions about every 4th or 5th time I use the unit. Has
anyone had this problem. I tried restoring defaults and even reset to
factory settings but nothing works. I do have attention tone on everything.
Not too useful when you do not get voice directions. Thanks!

| I installed 4.8 with no problems. The voice prompts are definitely
different - mostly that the "last" prompt before a turn no longer has
a distance - it just says "turn right" etc. At first, I didn't like
that, but after using it for a few weeks I do find it better, less
confusing.
But your problem seems odd - do you mean that it works only every 4th
or 5th time you power it on, or different routes, or what? A call to
tech support is pobably the thing to do; plan to wait.

etc?

| Route planning is very minimal. You can specity shortest distance or
fastest time. You can specify your type of vehicle. You can avoid
U-turns, highways, toll roads, unpaved roads, and carpool lanes.
That's it.

Anyone know what the significance of that option is?

I'd assume weight and size limitations, i.e. if you're on a motorcycle
you may not be able to travel on certain highways or parkways, if
you're in a heavy truck you may be routed around smaller brisdges and
tunnels.
