  • Buy character voices and vehicle downloads for your Garmin gps device.
  • For folks with a Garmin Navi system check if your GPS supports the Garmin Garage features. There's a bunch of free voices, vehicles, and dashboards you can upgrade your Garmin GPS with. Star Wars, The Simpsons, Wallace & Gromit are a few of the options.

I’m sure many of you have a Sat Nav (Satellite Navigation) tool, such as a TomTom or Garmin device. You probably realise that you can change the voices, but maybe you haven’t been bothered to do so yet because you thought it would be too much effort.

Well, it’s not difficult and won’t take you long at all. Changing your Sat Nav voice is easy and can be done for free (or nearly free) using voice files from lots of sources. Today we’ll go through the basic steps to get new voice files installed on your Sat Nav and then give you a great list of sites with free and dirt cheap voice files you can get.

How To Install New Sat Nav Voice Files

Since I have a TomTom, I’ll take you through the process quickly. If you have the TomTom setup software installed on your computer, plug your TomTom in and start it up. Navigate the menus to voices (the voice option is shown at every step). You’ll be shown a huge collection of voices, starting with premium content, popular freebies (like Hungarian Grandmother) and moving on to community voice files which are free. To install a free voice, just click on “Add” to the right of the detail. It’s really that simple!

For Garmin instructions for downloading and adding voice files, see here. It’s pretty straightforward. However, I would guess that the Garmin software has a similar directory to make purchases even easier for you.

For all of the following websites, you’ll need to follow slightly different instructions depending on your model of Sat Nav and the site. Mostly they simply involve unpacking the files and copying them onto the Sat Nav while it’s connected to your computer as a drive.

TomTom’s Voice Collection

Here’s TomTom’s collection of downloadable voice files. TomTom do have a free voice section on their website, but it’s currently just listing different languages and accents. However, if you browse the voices on your TomTom computer software you’ll find there’s plenty to choose from already which came as default options.

Some more TomTom freebies you might be interested in include StarWars wallpapers and games.

Garmin’s Voice Collection

Garmin’s online voice file collection is quite small, but has some interesting voices on offer. It also has a few free offerings which are mostly funny or seasonal.

Sat Nav Voices

Sat Nav Voices offer plenty of free sat nav voice files, plus a few cheap voices for you to consider. They’ve recently made free a “Dangerous Steve” voice which is in honour of Steve Irwin. All of these are made with voice actors, but they’re quite good.

Celebrity Voices

Celebrity voices has nothing for free, but offers plenty of voice files for TomTom and Garmin dirt cheap. Voice files are made using voice actors doing imitations of Jason Statham, Elvis, Jack Nicholson & Doc Emmet Brown and more. There’s a great variety of interesting voices here.

NavTones Voices

NavTones Voices offer a good variety of voice files for Garmin or TomTom [No Longer Available] at a wide variety of prices, ranging from free to $12.95. Here’s where you can find KITT (from Knight Rider) and Daria alongside Mr T and Burt Reynolds. Plenty to choose from!

New

Pig Tones

Pig Tones has nothing for free, but does offer some rather cheap voices. All of them are done with voice actors imitating the originals, but they are pretty good and give you some more variety to consider.

GPS Data Team

GPS Data Team has a list of free downloadable voice files for many Sat Nav types. It’s very straightforward and gimmick-free, but mainly only features voices you can get at their original sites as shown above. Occasionally you can find voices on GPS Data Team which may have been available elsewhere for free as a promotion at some stage, but has now gone up to regular price. For instance, GPS Data Team has Darth Vader for free, which is normally $12.95 at other sites.

What’s your favourite Sat Nav voice?

  1. The only sites that are still up are http://www.celebrityvoices.co.uk/garmin_voices.html and https://gps-data-team.com/pda-gps-navigation/links/index.php.

    Garmin no longer has the voice stuff on its website from what I can find and you cannot auto load it via their Garmin Express app anymore.

    However, once you do have a file all you have to do is put it under the Voice Directory under your Garmin device.

    Also, another good site for new vehicle images is
    http://www.vehiclesforgarminnuvi.com/

    It has no voices though.

  2. most sites here no longer exist. you need to update this page

  3. most sites listed here no longer exist, you need to update this page

  4. Thanks Angela, just hate that I have a Garmin and can't get the Hungarian Grandmother :o(

  5. Sorry to be pedantic but may be worth just separating some somewhat ambiguous terms. Several devices are 'GPS receivers'.

    Vehicle satnav, GPS enabled mobile phone, dedicated handheld GPS (used by hikers etc). There is some overlap - for example you can use your mobile phone as a (somewhat inferior) satnav. 'A GPS' tends to be used for the last of those 3 although 'GPS tracker' may be used as a more specific way to identify it.

    So the article is about voice commands for Vehicle SatNav systems. I don't think any of the content is applicable to mobile phone or GPS trackers.

    In that context this link explains how, for TomTom satnavs, you can record your own voice commands http://create.tomtom.com/manuals/create-your-own-content/index.html?record_navigation_voice.htm

Re: Voices
Garminers,
Just recently I discovered this great voice utility: Voice Utility. It allows you to create and edit your own, personalized non-TTS voice for Garmin. VPM files are in the /Garmin/Voice/ folder (GPS or SD cars).
This is what I do to create my own Garmin voice files:
1. Find on your GPS and copy to your computer a non-TTS voice (VPM file)
2. Backup your old voice file before you make any changes to it. Save it to some safe place.
3- Start VoiceEditor and select a VPM file name
4- Select Split to extract the VPM file content into separate WAV files
5- Use Microsoft's Sound Recorder, Audacity or any other WAV editor to preview/record/edit exported WAV files
6- Select Join to merge the WAV files back into a Garmin VPM formated voice file
7- Copy your new non-TTS VPM voice file to your GPS (backup your old voice file first)
Nuvi 2xx users can create WAV voice files with tts software
This is an excellent way to create your own voice alerts. Choose your voice (American/English; Male/Female), type what you want, and click download. A WAV file is created with your alert.
It's fun to have my kid's voice telling me: 'Turn left Mum.. Now! NOW! NOW!!!'
