How to install a tomtom voice
Introduction
Each tomtom voice is made of 2 or 3 files, they have the extensions; '.chk', '.vif' and optionally '.bmp'. e.g. ‘data88.chk’, ‘data88.vif’ and ‘data88.bmp’ all make up the voice of Andy Siddell.
The '.bmp' file is the image displayed to help you in the selection screen,if left out the voice will still work. The other 2 parts ('chk' and 'vif') must both be installed.
* Download the voice you intend to install before beginning;
Instructions
1. Connect your tomtom to your pc via the USB Cable and switch on the tomtom.
2. On the Windows menu click: Start/My computer, you should see your tomtom device amongst the list of devices.
3. Double click to Open, this is where your tomtom data is stored either SD card or harddrive.

My apologies to Mac user.
The above instructions are based on Windows sytems, however they should be easy to interprete for Mac systems. [they say 'Mac users are usually smarter']
