The Latest Innovations From Garmin Gps Voice

A good way to drive comfortably and enjoy the time spent behind the wheel is adding Garmin GPS voice to your device

. Downloading a Garmin GPS voice is easy. All that is demanded is a PC where you can install the Garmin Communicator. This is compatible with Window XP and all the newer Windows versions. The GPS device must also be hooked up to the computer. It is also possible to install Garmin GPS voice without having downloaded the Communicator.

Garmin GPS voice can work with text-to-speech programs. This is very useful when you want to personalize your ride and add familiarity to the experience. The application will improve the generic driving instructions such as turn left by uttering the name of the street, road etc. Because it is not possible to store all these names, the application is set to determine the pronunciation. That's why it might not pronounce them as you do. Nevertheless, this may turn out to be very helpful if you find yourself in places with many streets crowded together or where there are no street signs.

The sad news is text-to-speech is not available for all Garmin GPS voice applications. For instance, Garmin Voice Studio works by pre-recording of fixed phrases with the aid of a PC and an external mic. The latter is not a must but it is recommended in order to get a better quality of the sound. Even though the Voice Studio doesn't provide the benefits of text-to-speech features, it is a fabulous innovation from Garmin because it allows the user to record his or her own voice for driving instructions.

Garmin GPS voice section has also come up with new, attractive ideas that have had a huge influence on the buyers. The producers added celebrity and popular film characters voices. Robert De Niro, Elvis or Dr. Hannibal Lecter can all become your driving buddies with a simple click and for reasonable fees.

Last but not least, they have incorporated nice, little characters to keep you company while driving. Yeti, Dr. Nightmare or Elfred have a story of their own and they're ready to share it with you, together with their voices and the driving directions. With al these Garmin GPS voice innovative developments, the company wants to take safe and comfortable driving to a whole new level, by adding a bit of fun.
