Changing the Language
From the Menu page, touch Settings > General
> Language.
• Voice Language—change the language for all voice
prompts and messages. Touch the voice you want to use
and touch OK.
Two different types of voice languages are available: text-
to-speech and pre-recorded.
Languages noted with a person’s name and (TTS) are
text-to-speech (TTS) voices: for example, American
English-Jill (TTS) is a text-to-speech voice. The text-to-
speech voices “read” and “speak” the same words that are
displayed on the screen. The voices have an extensive
vocabulary, and they pronounce the street names as you
approach turns.
Languages without a person’s name are pre-recorded
voices, which have a limited vocabulary and do not speak
names of locations or streets.
