Poor Performance - iGO 8 w/TTS Enabled

[motocrossmann]

Does anyone have iGO 8 with Text to Speech enabled? Does your copy run well?

I have it working, but it is SLLLOOOWWW. The UI lurches, and the voice is choppy. It is acting like the Kaiser does not have enough resources to run it properly (which may be the case). If anyone has it working well, let me know what you did to get it working well (like your SYS.TXT settings, or other).

Thanks!

I am running iGO 8.0.0.49545 flawlessly on my Tilt with HPIII M2D December
3rd ROM. I recooked the ROM, but nothing that would effect the GPS. I am running the same radio as you too. IM me if you need anything such as files.

iGO 8.0 with normal voices was always stable for me, but with Text to Speech voices it seemed to crash a LOT more.

I'm trying iGO 8.2 right now, but I can't even get TTS to work on it at all.. Plus some bugs with POI icons... I think I'll be going back.

Bump? Anyone get this working reasonably?

I am also running iGO 8.0.0.49545 flawlessly on my Tilt with HPIII M2D December. Ran with L26 Diamond B6 as well. Here is what I found:

After first installing IGO8, it would go through my contacts (I have 400+) and try to geocache the addresses or something like that. While this was happening, it was mad slow, very choppy. Just let it run for as long as it takes to pop up a 'warning' like 'geocaching complete, failed to import x of y, do you want to see errors?'

It might not be called geocaching, but it is something very similar.

I can't guarantee that is the issue, but it worked for me.

I have the iGO8 running pretty good on my Kaiser, the only problem is that the voice seems to be small, at least smaller than what I saw on Garmin XT or Tomtom 7. Does anyone have any suggestion about this?

I tested TTS on OCN8 (aka iGO8) for PocketPCThoughts just a few months ago. Yes, it was very slow and frequently got itself very screwed up on directions -- correcting itself halfway through, dropping the remainder of a direction, etc.

I eventually just removed it. The 2.1 voices are much smoother.

Exactly the problem I'm having. I wish TomTom would support Navigator 7 for Kaiser.

I just installed the non-TTS voices personally. Although since I updated to 8.3, iGO8 takes about twice as long to startup now. Not sure why. :(

I just installed the non-TTS voices personally. Although since I updated to 8.5, iGO8 takes about twice as long to startup now. Not sure why. :(

I am using Igo 8.3 and have been using 8.0 before.

I have stability issues with both versions (freeze/lockup/reboot) that i cannot seem to solve.

Using Dutty's Diamond rom and 1.65.16.25 radio.

Hard reset and only igo installed still has the same problems.

Anyone know what could cause the problem?
