subject: Downloadable Gps Voices For Every Taste [print this page] GPS or Global Positioning System is a space based navigation system that provides transport solutions and time data. Initially, it was created for military purposes. Nowadays, it is very popular for cars because it gives instructions to the driver, helping him or her get to the destination.
GPS receivers should ensure the ease and comfort of the driver, helping him or her make the right calls and thus playing an important part in safe driving. The in-built, generic GPS voices are rather dreary and bland. That's why, the producers have thought of creating new voices that are downloadable, easy to install and to replace.
GPS suppliers have come up with a variety of voices from celebrities to cartoons, race car drivers to popular characters such as Yeti or Bubba. Garmin has come up with a bunch of sweet, little characters to accompany the voice and keep you company. The user can pick from Squirrely the Squirrel, Yeti, Team Garmin Director Matt White, Elfred the Elf and Dr. Nightmare. What is more, with Garmin Voice Studio you can record your own voice, or that of family and friends, and use it for directions. You should know that many of Garmin voices can be downloaded free of charge.
The popular race car drivers Scott Dixon, Dario Franchitti and Juan Pablo Montoya are some of TomTom's online free voices. This is quite intriguing because since they are ace drivers they might motivate you to drive safely and enjoy the ride more than on other occasions.
The voices can be downloaded from the GPS manufacturers official sites or from other sources such as Navtones and PIGtones. Navtones has teamed up both with Garmin and TomTom. So that you can get the voice packs you have got to pay a free. Because the voices are so hilarious and varied, paying to get them makes it worth while. PIGtones means politically incorrect GPS. Just like the name indicates, the downloadable voices found here are quite unconventional and extreme. Stewie, Yoda and Sadera are just a few examples. They cover a wide range of styles from sexy to creepy. In the end, there is something in store for each taste and theyre readily available for you to try!
