Garmin Voices
If you have just bought a Garmin GPS device or have owned one for a while, you may be keen to spice the unit up a little with some add-on functionality. Because you are reading this article, you have obviously considered adding replacement Garmin Voices to your system.
The great news is that there are many sites online offering celebrity GarminVoices, created at a professional garmin voice studio, which are avaialble for direct download and retail for around $10 USD each. There are also some deals where you can get 3 garmin voices for the price of 2. The addition of a couple of replacement voices to your unit will give it a new lease of life, make that journey more entertaining, and keep the kids happy, if you travel with some. It is also possible to get a free garmin voice online, but the quality is sometime dubious.
One thing to consider when purchasing replacement Garmin or TomTom Voices is that there are quite a few with explicit language in them. You may enjoy being told you’re a ******* idiot for not turning right, but your partner might not appreciate it, and it’s not ideal having your children listening to that. So if you are desperate to be verbally abused (and some of us seem to enjoy it), get a couple of celebrity voices, one for you, and one for when you have guests in the car.
So what is available? Wel there is a wide choice of garmin voices you can purchase, including old favourites like Elvis, Robert De Niro, Sean Connery and Al Pacino. Or some of the newer kids on the block like Peter Griffin and his son Stewie from the hit TV show A Family Guy. The Peter Griffin GPS voice is stunningly realistic and absolutely hilarious, well worth giving a try. If you like the dulcid narration of Morgan Freeman, he’s available too, as is Ozzy Osbourne, Boycie from Only Fools and Horses and Doc Brown. The Lord of the Rings character Gollum is always a winner in a sinister but slightly sad sort of a way.
There are plenty of others available and online is the place to buy. Listen to a demo, make a secure online payment, and download your celebrity garmin voice in seconds. Software installation instructions are generally included for each brand and model, so you’ll be up and running in no time. They are produced to fit the vast majority of models such as the Nuvi and all the popular types.
I’ve found it great way to add some additional entertainment to that long journey. The kids love it, so I’m extremly happy I made the decision to buy some replacement Garmin Voices. You should consider it too.
