SatNav - How does the TomTom Start 52 give directions? (example 1 - recorded voice JANE)

[@kimchee94112]

You have reached your destination sometimes leave you a block away. It would be good if it announces either on the right or left like my other GPS as many industrial areas with cluster buildings at times don't have street numbers (building numbers) until you're inside. I'm in the US BTW. This was 5 year old technology, no wonder TomTom is pushing it with deep discount as of late Nov 2022. Nice upload with dual view, very clean and informative. Had no idea UK has so many circle turns.

Thanks for this useful video. I'm currently debating whether it's worth buying a TomTom because I have a sat nav built in to my car and although it looks and sounds different it doesn't really make any difference. The best voice on the TomTom was Ozzy Osborne which was really funny but I doubt the DVSA would use it.

Hi good video. How would you change from cross the roundabout to round the roundabout? Cheers.

Google Maps' lack of speed limit indicator, and Waze's lack of lane assist, has forced me to invest in a SatNav. The TomTom START 52 looks like an affordable alternative.

I just bought one yesterday. Because my old TomTom died. I had not time to learn to use it. Because I had customer goods on board. It took me roughly 15 min to setup my first route. Without knowing the manual at all. It went for 99 Pounds as a black friday deal. Normally it would be more expensive.

Does anyone else find this voice oddly seductive?

[@taztaz86]

Awesome video. I Am gonna buy this one

Thanks for posting - really useful.

Well done Jane !

[@KevingrahamdrivertrainingCoUk]

hi there, can you tell me how you managed to get a tomtom incorporated into the video demo ? it's really cool btw =) Thanks In advance Kevin

[@DrivingLessonsnet]

Hi Kevin, It's not easy! First you need a second camera focussed on the sat nav. I built a custom fixture to hold the sat nav and hold the camera a fixed distance from it. Then you need editing software to allow you to combine the videos into one (I use Adobe Premiere) Then you need to synchronise the two videos so it makes sense! Thanks for your comment :)

[@KevingrahamdrivertrainingCoUk]

That’s great 😀 thanks for the info, I’m sure your present and future pupils will appreciate your hard work

[@collinslfc]

How many times does she need to tell you that you have reached your destination?

[@ep643]

That is really good if all tom tom like this would be great !!!!

[@peteridemudia-jf5mz]

Nice one thank

[@na-up6gs]

Thank you so much 😄

[@ferguszade5594]

I have absolutely no idea why DVSA decided to use this tedious voice for the driving test. It is totally monotonous, soporific and unclear ( first and third sound too alike). As others have pointed out, the computer generated SERENA is far superior.

[@Rajput007ist]

Great 👍🏻

[@davidhargreaves1728]

Too many reminders, jeez who’s this for kids?

[@Larry-is-cool]

Wow... hope pupils don’t fall asleep listening to that!! LOL

[@DrivingLessonsnet]

It's not the most enthusiastic voice is it!

[@DrivingLessonsnet]

The computer generated voice - SERENA - is much better - see my other video.

1:20 Poor programming. The correct word is around, not "round".
