Hi there,
I selected a female voice and hear a male voice during a voyage. Any solutions?
Kind Regards.

Something else I did not know, that one can hear a voice - from where? Does the voice give turn-by-turn instructions for routes?
Yes it does. The audio is fed via Bluetooth direct to my hearing aids. Otherwise the audio will be from your smartphone speakers.
Interesting, thanks. Sorry about your deafness.
Can you say if the audio uses the same wording as appears on the cue sheets?
I'm not sure Ken but I would think so. It's very short and actually too fast for my brain. I often have to stop and look at the map just to be sure. TBH I've never looked at the cue sheets. When would they be useful?
Raymond, I've said somewhere else, not sure if it's on this forum, but I only ever use cue sheets, never my Wahoo for routes. I simply cannot see the routes on my tiny Yahoo screen. I believe RWGPS is working on technology which will allow their routes to be shown on Android and I assume Apple phones with turn-by-turns which will then allow a much larger screen viewing. In the meantime, I print all my cues and attach them in a plastic cover to my handlebars - actually my aero bars. So, instead of trying to make out turns on a far too small a screen I can read the routes with additional cues, such as 'turn left into X street at the big red house, or whatever stands out as a prompt is at the junction I need.
Your system - or rather cycle.travel's system -giving voice prompts might be an alternative.
If it was possible to attach a picture on this forum, I'd show what my cue sheet set-up looks like.
BTW, using cue sheets is quite common in the Audax world, which I inhabit.
ken: if you download the cycle.travel app from either the Google Play or Apple App Store, you can get a full map and turn by turn directions on your phone :)
It seems the original poster on this thread never received an answer, is that because the panel recognized she was not real?
I didn't answer because I didn't know the answer (I have the voice feature turned off in the App)
For me it works as I’d expect. A couple of things that might help narrow this down: what language is your phone usually set to? (e.g. British English, or US English, or French, or…) Can you provide a link to a journey where this happens?
