Well, the old 855 is doing a new trick now, it keeps changing from Jack to Jill's voice. I've had it do it when I've did a reset but never while I have had it in the car using it. It seems like it has something to do with shutting the car off which I could see if the battery was bad but it shows full charge and will run under it's own power.
Jill
That used to happen to me a lot (95% of the time switching to Jill and 5% switching to American English from my chosen voice). Very oddly, after deleting the unneeded foreign language voices, help files, etc. before doing the most recent map update, my non-Jill voice now stays in place. I now have just the 2 American, 2 British and 2 Aussie TTS voices, plus American English non-TTS on my 855 and haven't had a Jill-reversion since deleting the others. I don't understand how my actions could have effected this.
If you haven't tried a battery removal/replacement to reboot the 855, that's worth a try before going the hard reset route.
Of course, when you tell us you've already deleted unneeded voices, you can ignore the above In that case, have you recently done a hard reset?
So...is Beloit 2-3 weeks to peak fall color?

Maybe going like Chaz Bono to the other side.

I haven't did the battery removal thing yet but I was told holding the switch to the left for at least 8 seconds does the same. I haven't removed any voices yet but when I get off the road I'm going to remove Jill and see what happens. I am also going to try something else before I do a reset. It seems like when I shut the car off and let it time down to a shutoff it changes the voice but doesn't if I tell it manually to shut off. But I have to check this out a little more.
From what they are saying the fall color will peak in our area in late October.
Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.
Yet another new trick
While we were on our trip this past week I made a couple of routes with MapSource and sent them to the 855, with no error report. When I went to import each file the 855 reported an error in the file and wouldn't import them. So in each case I held the switch far left for 10 or 12 seconds then went back to import, and again in each case it imported them with no problem. Either I picked up a ghost in Gettysburg or it's time to do a hard reset.
