App to change the navigation voice?

Stewie FTW!!!!!!!!

I have Stewie & Cartman on my Nuvi. My son laughs his butt off at Stewie. His favorite part is when we arrive and Stewie says, "Victory is mine!"

The stock voices definitely need upgraded, though. Too mechanical.

John Wayne or Keanu Reeves would be AWESOME!

You should be smacked with the ban stick for that.

There are ways to change the voice in Garmin units, my own 496, and the nuvi's.

I placed GlaDos, from Portal on my wife's nuvi, drove her nuts for a week.

KITT? Been done on a GPS already ... not even sounding realistic.

you get voice? i've been using maps and car home and still haven't heard a peep from the apps.

how do you enable the voice?

Make sure you press 'navigate' instead of 'get directions' when you enter your destination and also check to see if you have the voice sound muted, if it says press the menu button in maps if the lower left option says unmute, press it. Lastly, the navigation volume is different from the media volume and phone volume, make sure it is up.

thanks mark. for some reason, a lot of the apps on my 1st droid just didn't work, such as the navigation voice. after using apps for more than 1 time, it would then work properly?! so, eventually the voice worked for me. i guess it needed priming.

my 2nd droid is working better but i still get intermittent fc and lockups without any pattern.

don't the dedicated GPS units use voice samples and then put words together based on a database of entries?

google's nav is a text-to-speech synthesis. it's much harder to fake someone's voice using that method.

I just registered to say I'll give 10000000000 internets to anyone who can get the Glados navigation voice on droid.

Go to an app called svox they have many different voices that you can test out for two weeks. After that you have to buy it if you like it. When you choose a voice go into settings where it says voice and language I think and change it from pico to svox. That should work.
