Are there voice commands for the TomTom Rider or do you have to have a bluetooth device?

The Tom Tom rider does not have a speaker of any type in it. You must have a Bluetooth headset or similar device to hear directions

You have to have a Bluetooth device to hear voice commands. I have used the Bluetooth but most of the time do not in my Truck and on my Motorcycle. The display is plenty large enough to see clearly what is going on and when turns are required. For me the Bluetooth is a bit of a hassle and quite frankly I don't miss having voice commands.

On Palm Centros and Treos, you can answer the call and go back into the Mobile XT application during the call and it continues to map and route while you are talking. You won't hear any of the spoken commands during this time, though. Also, I was unable to use my BT headset to make or take a call successfully while the Mobile 10 was active. You are supposed to be able to do this with certain BT headsets, but I think it is a very limited set (i.e., some Plantronics). You'll need a wired headset or use the speakerphone to successfully navigate and talk at the same time.

Call TomTom customer service & ask them to activate/update your Lifetime Map service. Then connect your GPS to your computer

I've not seen that ability in the menus. Only to connect to a phone and to use the GPS as the audio.

Yes you can and yes it does. TomTom also has a Map Plan with which you can update maps, I believe, each quarter/year. Nice little unit. Perfect for the price.

I had this problem too. On the TomTom Home application, the computer voices were listed as not being usable by the device (even though they came pre-installed on the device). I tried the factory reset (holding down power button on the unit for 15 seconds until it restarts). This did not work. Then I followed the instructions to reinstall the TomTom application on the device from here: http://www.tomtom.com/9091 . This worked. I also should have tried restarting the TomTom Home application before or after the factory reset of the device. That may have worked.

Is there some way to update the maps or firmware? How do we know we have the latest version? My wife's TomTom plugs into the USB port and downloads the updates automatically. I see nothing other than MIO transfer, which is not very intuitive or useful.

I have been able to using the voice commands. There is a bit of a lag from the time you press and hold the button to when you actually hear 'Say a command'. I used it paired with a Motorola Razr Maxx.

Use the TomTom Home software that comes inside the GPS. When you hook up your GPS to your computer with usb, you should be able to see the TomTom device drive. Open it, find the setup program and install TomTom Home software. You can manage anything you want using the software including deleting unused voices etc etc.

The improvement is a feature that lets you mark changes (such as a closed road) and also share these with other TomTom users. And of course you have access to theirs. In theory this should make the maps more accurate in day-to-day use. What's missing which was on the original TomTom One (aka v.2 in its latest form): - a slot for an SD memory card. So you can't add other maps (there are US and European versions) or other data. This is the big one for many people. - the original TomTom One had Bluetooth which could only do one thing: connect to a mobile phone to use the phone's data connection to get real-time traffic data. The 3rd edition dropped this, but I think has a jack for a real-time data add-on. A lot of people were confused by the first model's Bluetooth, as it could not be used to do things like hands-free calling.

I use the Torque app. Make sure to pair your bluetooth on your device and then go into Settings in the Torque app and set your default device. If you don't do both it will not pair.

I have no idea. I only have a TomTom. You could probably ask the manufacturer.

As far as I know, it doesn't have a voice command feature. One must touch the phone button on it, then speak into the microphone.

I'm sorry, I don't own a TomTom GPS, and can't say whether it would or wouldn't work.

Voice command doesn't work for me. There is no option for it in the steering wheel setup

Yes! Siri and BT work well. Also, if you use Google maps, turn by turn directions also go through your speakers.
