Thank You.

Have you used Web Updater while the GPS is plugged into the computer to see if that voice file is available for your model?

Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.

No Luck!

I Tried that.. and I dont have Jill as an update!! mad mad

.

If your unit did *not* come pre-installed with Jill on it, WebUpdater will never give you the option to download or update it.

Here's a copy of Jill. Try extracting it and dropping it in the "Voice" folder on your nuvi.

It may work but according to Garmin they told me not to do that.I had Jill on my c340 and wanted it for my Nuvi 265wt.Was told it would not work by Garmin.I don't see a reason it would not work but thought best to go with their answer.

Thanks. Any particular reason given by Garmin?

I deleted the email but it

I deleted the email but it was along the lines of the unit was not set up to use the Jill voice and to use the ones that it came with.You can download other voices from other web sites most with a fee that they say will work so can not understand why the Jill voice will not.Maybe I will send another email and see if another tech may give different answer.

Edit I went ahead and emailed Garmin again.Will let you know once they answer back and paste copy on post.

Jill voice

The voioce directory in the Nuvi 2x5 series contains 2 general voice files for each language the sum file which I believe is a summation of the voices contained in the second file the VPM file which contains the codex for the voices. You need both files in conjunction for them to work and if you get one that contains Jill voice it may work if you copy both the files to the Voice directory. If it does not work you can just delete the files. The Nuvi 265 WT my wife has includes several American, British, and Australian voices, but the Nuvi 205 that I use only has the American English voice.

I sure would like to know if Jill works

I would like to had this voice myself.

I'm not happy with any of the English voices on my 265.

Highly appreciate your following up for the matter!! Thank you so much. Is there anyway I can get the files that the Tech sent?

I also just tried it with no luck.We will need the English Jill.sum file to go with it to work.I just emailed Garmin back to ask for that file.I will emailed both files to you once I received the other one.

chasing a greased pig...

The .sum file will not cause the voice to work as it is simply a checksum file that is created when the voice file is checked/verified when test mode is run in the nuvi's diagnostic menu.

The reason the voice will not work is because of the different TTS engine formats used by Garmin (2 that I know of). One is highly compressed with a ~1.5MG - 2MG file size and was originally meant for cell phone use but Garmin uses this format on the low-end nuvis with TTS. The other format is of much better quality with file sizes of ~14 MB - 15MB. This format is used on the higher-end nuvis like the 7x0/7x5 etc. The two formats are NOT compatible nor interchangeable with each other.

Thanks for the explanation.I was inclined to go with the first answer from Garmin that it would not work but after the follow up to another Garmin specialist it gave me second thoughts.

It's not just 7xx series

It's not just 7xx series that the Jill etc. voices work with, it's the specifically the xx5 series that can't use them. They changed the format for the voice file, made it of lower quality (IMO) so it's a smaller file size.

I have a Nuvi 260 and the older voices work just fine with it. It came with Jack and Jill, but Karen, Emily, et al which I downloaded work perfectly. Been using English Daniel lately as he has good clear diction and gets most names right.

Jill Voice

I bought the 265WT and like it a lot, but like some others, Samantha was the best voice available but still not quite what I wanted.

The wife decided she wanted a unit too, and I found a refurbished Garmin 1450 for her. It had the Jill voice, so I copied the two files over to my 265WT. Now, so far, it's working fine and I do like the voice much better than Sam's.

I also have the Voice Editor program for Garmin, and I changed the "recalculating" to "Now isn't that just wonderful ~ here we go again." Gives a laugh now and then.

WebUpdater program

@rglyons@yahoo.com,

Have you tried Garmin WebUpdater program? I think it should allow you to download voices you don't have.

Just go to Garmin's site and search "WebUpdater".

No Jill?

Gee, I'll have to tell her that the next time I route on my 775T... I'm sure 'she' will be surprised.

I've always had Jill.
