Garmin Celebrity Voices Downloads

You're not stuck with the bland and generic voice that speaks directions from your in-car GPS. So long as your car GPS device supports it, you can download new GPS voices to replace the one you're currently using.

Stock receivers usually come with multiple voice options, but if you're not satisfied, there are places online where you can download new GPS voices.

TomTom Voices

TomTom's navigation voices page is home to many voices you can purchase, download, and install on your navigation device.

On TomTom's website are free voices for your GPS but also categories where you can purchase voices. Your options include cartoons, celebrities, comedy, TV shows, and other.

For example, you can put Mt. T in charge of your personal navigation and safety. Or, purchase voice packs spoken by Roger Moore, Burt Reynolds, or John Cleese, among others.

You need to check your software version and model for compatibility before you download any of these GPS voices. Once you've confirmed compatibility, add the voice to your cart (even if it's free) and use the Place order button to get the download.

I found a couple on the Garmin site, but have been trying to find some more good voices for my Garmin Nuvi 765wt. Thank you in advance for your information.

Free

You'll need to make a TomTom user account if you don't already have one, but it's completely free and doesn't take long.

TomTom GPS voices download to your GPS device through the TomTom HOME software. Just make sure your device is plugged in so that it can sync with the software.

You can also get TomTom GPS voices through the HOME program, via the Add Traffic, Voices, Safety Cameras, etc. option in the menu.

Purchased voices can be used on one TomTom device only, so you can't expect to transfer the voice to more than one unit.

However, the official website is no longer accessible. The only way to use PIG Tones is through a Wayback Machine cache.

Please proceed with Pig Tones at your own risk. Since the website is no longer active, it's possible that the purchase links don't work, meaning that you might be charged for something without being able to actually download the voice. Given that there's no longer an official website to reach for support, you could be left without a refund.

Re: Voices
Garminers,
Just recently I discovered this great voice utility: Voice Utility. It allows you to create and edit your own, personalized non-TTS voice for Garmin. VPM files are in the /Garmin/Voice/ folder (GPS or SD cars).
This is what I do to create my own Garmin voice files:
1. Find on your GPS and copy to your computer a non-TTS voice (VPM file)
2. Backup your old voice file before you make any changes to it. Save it to some safe place.
3- Start VoiceEditor and select a VPM file name
4- Select Split to extract the VPM file content into separate WAV files
5- Use Microsoft's Sound Recorder, Audacity or any other WAV editor to preview/record/edit exported WAV files
6- Select Join to merge the WAV files back into a Garmin VPM formated voice file
7- Copy your new non-TTS VPM voice file to your GPS (backup your old voice file first)
Nuvi 2xx users can create WAV voice files with tts software
This is an excellent way to create your own voice alerts. Choose your voice (American/English; Male/Female), type what you want, and click download. A WAV file is created with your alert.
It's fun to have my kid's voice telling me: 'Turn left Mum... Now! NOW! NOW!!!'
