Default Fun and Games with your Garmin GPS



Do you have a Garmin GPS? Are you tired of Jill rolling her eyes and saying “Recalculating” every time you ignore her directions?

Well there is now an editor that allows you to change her message. You can now have her say such fun things as:

“I have a bad feeling about this”
“So you think you know more than me I guess”
“Well, now we are lost. L-O-S-T.
“Apparently you are not listening to me”

or whatever else your creative mind comes up with.

You can change other remarks as well. You can speed up or slow down the speech and you can even change the “back-seat driver’s” name to that of your significant-other!

This only works for the Garmins that have text-to-speech (TTS) features.

Go to this site to download the editor: Here

This is what you see in the program:




Too much fun!

He he ... good one, thanks, Larry. I am going to mess with my wife's GPS unit and see what she thinks.
