Loss of Selected Voice

 

Had a strange thing happen to my 765T this weekend. I use the Australian_Karen voice, which is why I call my Garmin 'Sheila'. I drove to Mobile from Montgomery this Saturday and 'Sheila' was with me when I left Montgomery and when I arrived in Mobile. I went to the Mobile Flea Market Saturday afternoon and put my Garmin in the console of my van. When I got back in the van and reattached the Garmin, 'Sheila' was no longer there. It had defaulted to 'Jill' (American English Female). This had happened once before, when I simply reset Karen's voice and everything was fine. This time, however, Karen had completely disappeared from the menu of voice choices on the Garmin. I checked the voices on my computer today and found 'Karen' was still in the voice folder on the Garmin, but still would not show up on the menu when I went into the system menu on the 765T. I had backed up my files, so I copied Karen back to the Garmin voice file from my computer backup copy and rebooted the unit. Karen's voice was back. I selected it and everything is working okay now. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Hi Spullis

To answer your question that's never happened to me. It's definitely a bug of some sort, seeing that it's done it twice.

Perhaps another user knows the reason and or cure for it. All I can suggest is that you do a hard reset and see how the unit functions down the road.

Cheers

Lose voices after a reset

I have lost all voices sometimes when I have been impatient and powered off my 760 when it appeared to be hung while "loading maps". When it boots up next, it can't find the voices. After another reset, they are all there again. It's not necessary to recopy the files, they just show up again on a subsequent reboot. You might try this if it ever happens again.
