I have just purchased a new Tom Tom gps due to the demise of my old one. Imagine my laughter at the pronounciation of street and suburb names. For example, anyone travelling around south coast of NSW goes through Nowra. I laughed at the way my gps said NORA. That is only one of the comical names. There are plenty more. What is strange is that my 3 older units that I have had were correct. Sure, I have set it up for english but this is ridiculous. Now for the serious question. Can this be fixed or am I stuck with it? Jim

Hi,
changing voices from 'English Girl' to 'Australian Bloke' on my Garmin Nuvi got me Makworry instead of Mackerry for Macquarie St.

cheers
