Jill (new Jill voice)

I didn't think that the Jill voice was very clear so I didn't use it. Hope this one is better.

We'll give new Jill a try...

Thanks for the update!

Thank you for the info on the Jill voice addition. Is there some forum that keeps abreast of Garmin enhancements like this and others, or do you need to just keep checking the Garmin site?

It looks like Garmin doesn't have an update feature like Microsoft's opt-in for OS updates.

I always liked Jill, thanks for the update!

I have the 3590 and Jill seems to have a slight stutter when starting a new route.

Hi,
Thank you for the update.
Is it posible to update the "voice" without updating the firmware using the WebUpdater?

Folks, please note that this thread was started last fall and for folks who updated then, there is no new "Jill" now.

Nice.

Yes, but.. "is the New Jill as cute as the Old Jill!?"

I was wondering if they would include a mature Jill voice. It may be of some appeal to the over sixty set.....just a thought.

Did you say that was the "Over Sexy Set..!!..?", if you did.. I resemble that!

Am I missing something? It appears, this update happened almost 6 months ago!

Not sure how recent this update came out but found it for my 350 using the new Webupdater.

Seems like it's been quite a while since Jill was updated ...

Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the update.

Just updated my Nuvi 350. It was quick.

Thank you for the update information.I was unhappy with the voice quality.Perhaps it will now improve.

Does the TTS Voice Editor work with this version?

Thanks for the info.

I use Karen because I think the pronunciations are more accurate. Karen has an update along with Jill. But I don't have a changelog. Does Garmin Express have a way to see what's new with different versions? I know I could with myGarmin.

Long ago I deleted all the voice files except for Jack. We normally just refer to the nüvi as Jack.

Karen's change log:

Garmin makes it hard to find these change logs. The easiest way I find them is to do a Google search for the words (no quotes) "garmin voice version Karen" and substituting for Karen, the desired voices like Jack, Jill, Emily, Lee, David, Samantha, etc. I've also found that these searches bring up two Garmin faqs, one quite outdated and the other current, so it's wise to check both and look for the most recent update date.

thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info, looks like there's updates to several of the voices and icons.

Got a new Karen & Jill.

theres a Karen?!
i only have Jill for my nuvi.

How do i get karen?

thanks for the info

Thanks

It's one of the optional voices you can install from the website or GE.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the information.

TTS Voice Editor does work with Jill 3.20.
Version 3.0 was the only version it stopped working.
That was corrected in 3.10 and remains working with 3.20.

Regarding changing the recalculating, be advised the newer units no longer use that phrase and simply recalculate the route without notifying, it's in the firmware and can't be changed.

More info at this link:

Curious now? Is my 3790 considered OLD now or a newer unit? It does say "recalculating".

New Jill speaks "business route." Old Jill said "branch."
Now to reinstall my custom prompts.

Garmin lists the 3790T and 3790LMT as Discontinued Models now, so their three weeks of fame have come and gone.

Still, I'm like you. My old 2460 removed "Recalculating" so I also would have expected your 3790 to have had it removed as well.

Now you have confused me by saying your 3790 still says recalculating. From everything I've read it should not be doing that. My 2460 is discontinued and older than your 3790 and it does NOT say recalculating, it merely recalculates (quickly I might add) without any notification.

If anyone ellse has a 3790 could you kindly report if your unit says recalculating. I certainly don't want to post any mis-information.

Can anyone tell me what they are and if I need to do them.

You do not need those as those are all optional updates, but it wouldn't hurt at all if you download them.

Actually the 37x0 series was introduced 10 months earlier than the 24x0 series. So apparently Garmin removed the "Recalculating" prompt sometime during that time frame.

Garmin Nuvi Model History

I am not aware of "Recalculating" ever being removed from the 37xx series.

Jill on my 3760 would still say "Recalculating" except for the modification I did so that she now says "Oh, OK".

Good observation.

Thank you for setting things straight. My apologies to the forum for providing incorrect information.

As you mentioned in your link, the model number naming is far from logical so that's what caused my mistake.

to both muell9k and Melaqueman for attributing muell9k's quote to Melaqueman.

She got kind of old and mispronounced a few words so I now use Jack.

You've got to admit the mispronunciations were comical at times...

Now that would be a nice upgrade to Jack's voice. Jack has always said Branch when it should be Business Route. I've been too lazy to fix it but would download an updated voice file if it was available. I don't think Jack has been updated since about 2008.

It's a map issue more than a voice issue. Business Routes are supposed to be shown as BR - note the uppercase R while branch is abbreviated Br - with a lower case R. Like the sig line - It's not the dog, but Garmin'a fault.
