Garmin HQ's local paper did an article on the real Australian Karen:

And, she has a website:

Would you believe she's doing a CONCERT? I can hear it now - "Turn right here" Applause, screams, groupies. "Arriving at your destination" as an encore.
Actually, she's interesting.
We've know this for a while
or at least I have. She also has a Facebook fan page

Would like to have her voice
Would like to have her voice on my GPS but for some reason it is not available for my model ;(
Karen
Thanks for the info, I wondered about the woman who has been with me over the past few years, traveling about 1K miles a week. I'd be the one holding up a lighter when she says "Federated States of Micronesia" instead of "Farm to Market Road"
Typically I travel to NYC about once a week so I would go to see her in concert, unfortunately I won't be back to the states until next year...
Maybe next time.

The wife...........
The wife didn't like the voice after I told her who the voice was. Nobody but my wife would think like that!

Nice
Very pretty young woman.

Don't bet on that!
WOW
wow she is Beautiful!!!!!!
Maybe that's the next upgrade to GPS'...
...showing pictures of the people doing the speaking as they direct you to places far flung. But then again, there might be a lot of jealous wives and husbands resulting.
I'm hooked on American Jill, standard though she may be. I certainly would not want to hear my own voice giving me directions. Jill keeps me calm, and I get to ignore her whenever I want.

Yup, we knew
or at least I have. She also has a Facebook fan page
Feeling warm and cozy all over, now - what a feeling !!

Never knew about that
I never knew that Australian Karen is a real person. Does anybody know if any of the other voices have faces and/or websites to be associated with them?

I may have to demote Emily
and add Karen back in
I once had both Karen and Emily announce red lights...but Emily won the "preferred voice" contest.

I use Jack. I don't care what the person looks like.

Legal issue
I'm wondering if her contract with Garmin allows her to tell unwanted male suitors to "GET LOST"?
She's Interesting..!!..?
You looked at her and all you can say is.. "She's Interesting..!!..?"
A blind person could take one look at her and tell you she's MORE than just "Interesting"..!"
If she doesn't put a spring in your step.. nothing will.

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