I've been a (gold) member of the MyRouteApp community for many years now and, until recently, used the route library to plan 95% of my routes then download them to my TomTom. However, I've recently bought a subscription to the MyRouteApp so that I can use the app on my phone when I don't have my TomTom with me. Is there a manual of any kind or is learning acquired via the 'suck it and see' principle?
I ask because I've only just found out that the lack of spoken directions was due to me planning my routes for TomTom and the app uses Here maps and I now need to find out how to get those directions through my car's speakers. Can you help?
Thanks,

Paul@Paul-Croft-0, There is no reason for the choice of map to be of influence of spoken instructions. There must be another reason for you to experience that. However it is wise to plan your routes on the HERE map of you want to navigate them with a HERE map device (like the MRA App or a Zumo for example). In case you want to use both app and TomTom, in the toolbox there is a feature to compare them (so you can equal them).
There is however a problem with spoken instructions in cases where a waypoint is too close to a junction. Maybe that is your reason for instructions to be absent? Or you might need to up the volume on your phone while it is connected through BT with your car speakers. And of course check the audio settings in the app first.
