Late Voice Directions When Moved To SD..?

[UKlocusfan]

Long time Locus fan here.  Bought Pro version around July 2011.

Running low on phone space now so have moved Locus Pro to the SD card (16gb Speed 4)

Everything works fine except the voices whenn navigating somewhere occur a lot later than they should.

For example... driving at a steady 30mph I will make a left turn but only get the audible voice announcement to make that turn about 30 seconds after I've actually turned.

I understand everything is running from the memory card so will be slower but nothing else seems to suffer this lag... only the spoken voices.

Does menion or anybody else have any advice about this or is it simply a case of me moving the app back to the phone so it runs smoother?

Thanks in advance.

Which voices do you use?
HTC Wildfire S running ist nost fast
working from SD is not fast
SD card class 4 ist not fast
...but 30(!) seconds still very strange.

Thanks gynta,
It can be as long as 1 minute delay with the voices.
I am using a voice that was downloaded as, not one that comes as standard with Locus.  However, I figured there would be no difference in using the ones that come with Locus as they are all in the same format and at the same place on the memory card although I admit I have not tried the default Locus ones.

*update
Just checked the folders and the voice I am using is all present and correct in the nav audio folder and is even all ok in the cached version.

so plz check viewtopic.php?f=42&t=2056
and also the TTS voice.

Thanks for the link Gynta, it is appreciated... but the voice I use is formatted correctly and works perfectly when the app is on the phone and not the SD card.
I do not wish to import any new voices.
Cheers.

i think TTS can help u - a little bit.

[UKlocusfan]

Thank you Gynta.
Are you saying that if I set Locus to read the directions using the Text To Speech voice is may work quicker and faster?
Thank you.

[gynta]

u can test it tomorrow...

[UKlocusfan]

Will do and will report back.  Thanks again for your help/

@gynta: a lot of mystery here. Could you enlighten us why TTS should be faster?

[UKlocusfan]

I think Gynta has suggested it will be quicker as the app will not have to piece together .ogg files and instead will simply get the TTS engine to speak the instruction.  
Thinking about it that way - it should be quicker.
I will test that today.
