Voices for Garmin 250w

 

Gaday All,

I have a 250w and have been looking for new voices (by the other posts i have read everyone is doing the same) I managed to find a tom and jerry file then found it was for TomTom in .VIF format. Can someone point me in the right direction to convert to .SUM or .VPM files??? confused

Use WebUpdater

Garmin WebUpdater will show additional voices that can be downloaded.

Converting

Converting voice files is not really an option. TTS files won't work. With Non-TTS files, You would have to change the Tomtom, etc. voices into the component sound files, (.wav). Then recompile into a Garmin .vpm, Problem is that different words are used in the different files to give directions. So it would be quite a project.

Convert files

Thanks for the quick reply johnc,

I have updated from garmin but the question relates to converting *.vif files for Tom Tom to files (*.sum or *.vpm files)The voice file I downloaded is for TOMTOM and its of the cartoon cat and mouse Tom and Jerry.
