Yeti Voice

 

There is a new voice called "Yeti" at the Garmin Garage. I saw this mentioned in a post when I did a search, but there didn't seem to be a thread on it.

Here is the link: http://garmin.blogs.com/my_weblog/2009/12/the-yeti-voice-has...

Like the other 3 voices

This voice does not do Text to speech, so directions are "in 1/4 mile turn left." No street names, no traffic or weather advisories, just basic directions.

Yes, another encrypted voice. Too bad. It cannot be edited or modified.

no, not even "in 1/4 mile turn left"

This file, in MHO is a total waste of time. Its just bunch of gunts and goans and no directions are given at all. Why oh why can't Garmin work on improving all the things that are wrong with the units/software/firmware instead of wasting money, time and software resources with something so useless? Garmin, for 2010 why not try to improve things with existing units and not try to add worthless voices that I really don't think anyone will actually use, once they hear it?

Is anyone out there at Garmin reading any of these forums?

You can walk a horse to water, but a pencil has to be led.

worst voice

This voice had almost killed my unit. Because of it another voices too were giving my hard time and ultimately i had to delete it!! crying

The same thing could be said

The same thing could be said about healthcare. why not fix what's wrong instead of redoing the entire thing.

Kind of comical

This voice seems to be just something comical garmin users can use to lighten up their day. I agree though that garmin really could be giving us voices that actually are functional but I still enjoyed this.

I think you have a little bias in your opinion

After seeing your avatar:)
The Yeti voice is just something I don't go ape over.

Haha

Yeah, well I am a bit of a Sasquatch lover but regardless even if I wasn't the novelty voices are still a bit of an enjoyment. I do agree though that garmin should actually come out with some voices that we can all use.

I Can't Believe..

..I've found a common sense voice of reason among those who can't see their hand in front of their face!

I'm not really lost.... just temporarily misplaced!

I wonder

Skoda has a new SUV. I wonder if it will offer the voice as an option.
