OVERVIEW:
Tired of listening to Jack and Jill? Try a few
PIG Tones to break the monotony! We downloaded four voices, Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Clint Eastwood, Billy Bob (Thornton?), and Sargeant Hartman.
These zipped voice files (but not all) contain: .vpm voice files, GTonesSetup.exe,
and .vup files to add voices to the G-Tones Library, plus .txt instructions.
PROCEDURRE:
Installing the G-Tones
Library:
Run GTonesSetup.exe. This will install the Library
shown above. Find and run the .vup files to place the voices in the
Library. From there you can listen to a sample of the file audio.
However, we could find no evidence that you could actually install voices
from the Library.
Uploading voice files:
Just unzip the voices and copy the .vpm files to the
nuvi: \Garmin\Voice folder. In the unit, select American English
and look for the voices beginning with PIGTones. Each zipped voice
file contained a .vpm voice file, except for Billy Bob, so we were not
able to upload that voice.
Once installed, these new voices will provide an entertaining (and sometimes shocking!) diversion for driving.
Now don't get lost out there -youall! (Punk?)
