Garmin Voices Vpm Files For Garmin

admin

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!!!'

Garmin Voices Vpm Files For Garmin

I did find a.vpm file, called 'EnglishAmerican.vpm', on the web. I did not consider it unethical or illegal to download and try this file, as the voice files were not extra cost from Garmin (like some maps were/are). But no luck anyway. It is a single @ 1MB file, not the hundred plus files needed for this unit. Double-click on the Voice folder: 7. Open another 'My Computer' window: 8. Browse to the folder where the extracted files are located. Right-click on the.vpm file and select 'copy': 10. Right-click in the Garmin Voices directory and paste the new.vpm file: Your new Garmin voice is now loaded to your Garmin device and available in the menu!
