At Last! Something Different From The Defaults!
One of the most common questions I get asked on the site is whether you can get different voices for Garmin Nuvi's - and now the answer is YES! The guys and girls at nav-voices.co.uk (link to the right of the video below) sent me a copy of their Ozzy voice (performed by an impersonator) and i have installed it on my Garmin Nuvi 200 so you can listen to the demo on the video below.
Comments / Questions:
I would like to know, please, if the nuvi 200 will charge via the pc (like an i-pod can) as my daughter seems to have lost my car charger unit. I have a USB connector for the laptop which has brought up a screen, but that is all???? Don't want to risk leaving it connected if I am wrong. Thanks Yes, just connect it up like you have, don't worry about the screen. |
Where can I get the Voice of Julian Clary for my Garmin Nuvi 360 europe, I heard it on a friends TOM TOM brilliant! Check the link by the video - they may do one soon. |
The video was good & helpful! I've just bought a nuvi 250W. I seem to have had problems saving locations to favourites. It may be saving them without a name, just numbering them - if not download the latest firmware update to see if that sorts it out. |
Hi There, Just download their webupdater and you should still be able to update the operating system. Press the spanner, settings, navigation, avoidances, and tick u-turns and unpaved roads. Also make sure "faster time" is selected in the route preference. Be aware that the system will still take you down small routes, under low-bridges and over weight-limited bridges, so you'll still need your truckers atlas. |
Just purchased the Yoda voice for my Garmin 250w. "Not bad but more realistic it could be, yes, hmmmm..." Sue he would, Mr Lucas. |
Why don't they make updates for Street pilot c530 that announce the street? Wallace. Ah! Great question! I don't know! |
can i get european maps for my nuvi 200 thanks. Graham. Just go to Amazon and search for the Garmin City Navigator NT 2008 European Maps (not the upgrade.) |
I just rec'd a garmin 200 for Fathers Day. is it possible to change the voice? If so just what do i have to buy to make the change? I am a novice so please explain, thanks. Dennis. Err... click on the lick above, to the right of the video. It is a little technical to change the voice, so ask someone who knows a bit more about computers to help. I will not be providing support for installing voices, or any problems that arise - direct all questions to the company who sells them! |
where can i get MR T voice for my garmin satnav. Paul. The guys at nav-voices are working with a new impersonator, so watch that site. |
just bought and installed startrek voice --- big big disappointment - no catch phrases like advert "make it so" engage etc etc I guess they're limited by copyright in certain situations. |
how does my nuvi 200 update maps my sales man told me it up dates from satelites is that true??? Theo. No, he's lying. You have to buy map updates on DVD. However, if you bought it within the last couple of months, and it came with the old maps, register at Garmin and they might send you the updates for free. |
| nice... sounded a bit like billy connolly though. Weejamer. |
