Hi All,

For you all who have the Garmin GPS that talks to you, here is a link that you can change the RECALCULATING to anything you want.

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm about too.....

I just tried it and it works great. But, you have to copy your voice file to your PC, then modify the words, then copy it back to your GPS. Be sure to read the README file in the program folder.

So, you connect your gps to your computer
double click on the icon in MY COMPUTER
double click on folder GARMIN
double click on folder VOICE

scroll down to file : english_american_jill.vpm (if this the voice you use, i do)

and copy this file to your PC. Then make another copy just in case it doesn't work and you need to replace the original file.


open the program and open the file you just put on your pc.

Then just change the words that you want too.

then save it, and copy it to your GPS, replacing the original file.

Or just follow the instructions in the read me file

I'm glad you won the GPS - now I will be able to learn how to use mine

Hi Keith,

Here is a couple of links that I've found to ge VERY HELPFULL...

http://www.poi-factory.com/

http://home.comcast.net/~ghayman3/garmin.gps/index.html

The last link has lots of help on doing different things with the Garmin.

And tell us just what those words are that you changed it to say ? ......

Thanks Tom!!

POI Factory I had seen but the second one is new to me - thanks. Want a database of 18,500 campgrounds in US and Canada? I just happen to know where to get one. I loaded them into my Nuvi and now I have them all avail when I need them.
