I did find a.vpm file, called 'EnglishAmerican.vpm', on the web. I did not consider it unethical or illegal to download and try this file, as the voice files were not extra cost from Garmin (like some maps were/are). But no luck anyway. It is a single @ 1MB file, not the hundred plus files needed for this unit. Darth Vader and Yoda. No two characters better represent the dreaded Sith and the heroic Jedi than.
- Installation: Download the 'Crazy Taxi - Announcer.vpm' file. Attach your GPS to PC via USB, then copy the.vpm to the device under Garmin Voice. While it would have been fun to do the other voices from the game, the announcer is the only one who really had enough material to make it work.
- These voices can be easily installed on many Garmin navigation devices by placing the.vpm files in the 'Garmin/Voice' directory on your navigation device. Here are Garmin's instructions to install voices. Thanks Sound Surfers for a very unique and innovative.
Your car's GPS can do more than just give you directions. For example, you can download and install fun and free new vehicle icons. Tired of your GPS's voice? Download and install some celebrity voices. You may also use your GPS to find the best gas prices.
Find the Best Gas Prices
'Cheap' and 'gas' don't always belong in the same sentence, but we all want to find the lowest available prices for the stuff. You can consult websites that consolidate and compare gas prices, but you'd have to do this in advance of your trip or during a stop. Instead, use your car's GPS to find the cheapest gas prices along your route as you're traveling.

Whatever you set your Garmin to, the voice will use the appropriate miles or kilometer voice settings.
For example, TomTom's Fuel Prices feature helps you find the lowest gas prices by identifying and ranking stations by price and location. It then provides turn-by-turn driving directions to the gas station with the best price. You will need a compatible TomTom 'GO' model in-car GPS and a yearly subscription to the TomTom Fuel Prices service to use this feature.
Keep Tabs on Family Members and Pets
When you're concerned with the whereabouts of family members such as kids and elderly parents, consider using one of the many apps out there that use GPS to locate them. Glympse, bsafe, Cabin and Life 360 are just a few to try.
For wandering Fidos, GPS-based trackers are now available that attach to dog collars and enable real-time tracking. You can even set up a geofence—a boundary that triggers an alarm if your pet goes outside of it.
Dude, Where's My Car?
Likewise, you can add a tracker to (and geofence around) your car. This GPS transmitter will tell you where your car is in the event of theft—or if you've forgotten where you parked it.

Celebrity Voices For Garmin
You're not stuck with the default icons and voices in GPS navigation systems. Most offer much more interesting car icons than the few that appear within your unit's stock menu. In fact, you don't need to 'drive' a car on the screen at all. How about a fire truck, football, tank, police car, motorcycle, or stock car? Sound like fun? Download and install free new GPS icons is easy and fast.

Garmin Celebrity Voices Free Downloads Uk
You're not stuck with the nice but generic voice that tells you where to go, either. Most systems and apps come with alternative voices built in. In some cases, though, you can download and install amusing new text-to-speech voices that will impress your friends, miff your significant other (some alternative voices are downright sultry), make you laugh, or just provide digital companionship as you find your way through the world.
Garmin Voices Vpm Files For Garmin Updates
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!!!'
