+Beds Clangers Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Has anyone tried the Garmin nRoute "talking" upgrade to Mapsource? Have mapsouce and as the nRoute is free download (13Mb) thought I'd give it a try. Have a notebook PC in the vehicle so that was the main reason for looking at it. Regards Nick Quote Link to comment
+wildlifewriter Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Has anyone tried the Garmin nRoute "talking" upgrade to Mapsource I think this is the same software which makes "talking" receivers talk, when auto-routing with installed Mapsource maps. (Don't worry - I'll translate all this into English, sometime.) It works very well, by the standards of such things. BTW, the univerally accepted name for nRoute's female voice is "Betty". Betty has a couple of defects: just like the real thing, she can get a bit bossy when you deviate from the selected path. Also: being from the Colonies, she cannot pronounce the word "route" correctly, and appears to be unaware of the concept "straight on at junction". Garmin have put a great deal of work into the proper handling of roundabouts, which was a huge problem in earlier versions. Quote Link to comment
