I purchased and downloaded a Pigtones voice for my Garmin GPS. I thought it was a no-risk satisfaction guaranteed opportunity. So I figured I had nothing to lose. The download and install went smoothly, but the voice did not work properly. The messages were cut off by The Garmin, and the messages did NOT provide turn by turn directions which is the main feature of value for me with my Garmin. I wrote for help and got cryptic messages back that I could not understand. I then asked for a refund and was politely informed that the website says that TTS is not supported. Unfortunately I did not know that TTS is what gives turn by turn directions... with street name pronunciation ... how was I supposed to know that. So I have uninstalled the Pigtone, gone back to my factory set up ... and am now out the purchase price. So my advice is buyer beware. ... I will not do business with these folks ever again.

Consider it to be the price of an education. This site is full of plenty of useful information to conduct research prior to buying accessories and other incidentals.

Make Your Own
flatty - you can sort of make your own TTS voices. There is a free program called TTS Voice Editor which was created by one of our members. It allows you to take an existing Garmin voice file and change the phrases to anything you want. The actual voice will remain the same but it will speak whatever you want. For example, instead of Jill saying "Turn right on Main Street" you could modify the file to say "Hey knucklehead, swing a right on Main Street".
