thanks for that, .... i'v got the 09 map already... but where is the new application ?
yeah im using destinator 8 as well... but what i ment was, is there destinator 9 ??
I've got spanish and english too... (not to sure how to get rid of spanish coz i dont need it)
I'm somewhat confused as to why TTS is not working for some people but it works for me ? - I'm using the same RAR file that i posted in post 1
i try to use the 2009 q2 map to Destinator 6. but not working .
is any way to make it work ?? because my old GPS can only run Destinator 6 .
you can't run the new map on destinator 6 --- its way to old, we are on destinator 8 now
thanks duck.... strange, that setting should not change ??
why would it change itself to =0
Thanks Luck Duck, I looked for that setting but it doesn't appear under destinator.ini, should it be found somewhere else ? you mentioned config file, I don't seem to have TTS reference anywhere. I added that line in the ini file but still doesn't work? I then found a TTS = no in the voice folder and changed that to yes, still no TTS?
I must have a different version but can't see how as I downloaded everything from this tutorial?
I didnt find any reference to tts myself, but in the process of looking for it, i found this.... go to
\Storage Card\Destinator\MobileNavigator\UserData
and open SOUND.INI - see the line below and make sure its a YES
;Say road names for the start navigation and maneuvers
SayText = yes
hopefully that will fix it
I am using a Destinator Smart Navi (NAV-I400B) GPS with Destinator V7 with
MapBuildID=1270Australia
Version 2007.Q1.5244 - map of Sensis. HLG4,MG1.6, Toll roads, D01, NC, Signed map.
I have updated my map to Destinator 9 Map MapBuildID=3361 Australia - map of NAVTEQ. HLG4, V1.6, FI, Toll RoadS, WES2, NavIndex, DirFix, NC, D01,Signed map.
Version 2009.Q2.7002 - map of NAVTEQ.
In my Destinator it has this Folder
Destinator Apps with sub folders- Australia-Destinator
In the Destinator folder there is a Destinator configuration file with the following in it: Note I have removed my home position :-)
[General]
SCREEN_ORIENTATION=1
MAP_NAME=Australia
NAV_MODE=1026
UNIT_MODE=0

And even though I have placed 1 in the Text to Speech line it still dosn't work for me, I just thought It may work for others or help look for something similar in your GPS.

You guys can buy an original update for Destinator from here at $99. Don't know if it has TTS but I will ask them.
Luck Duck
@Luck Duck
You're using Destinator V7 - you need a TTS Voice folder which contains, amongst others, two files named svox-kr0sc0en-US22_c.pil and kr0sc0en-US22_c.pil in order for TTS to work. Google for Destinator 7 TTS Voices and you'll find what you need.
Recommendation - upgrade to Destinator 8; it'll run on your device and it has all the files necessary for TTS.
Find a version here:-
Post #3
There's also a neater version of Destinator V7 (7.0.24.108) in that same post #3.
