I don't know, but she sounds
I don't know, but she sounds just like my wife.
Kind of funny... everyone
Kind of funny... everyone has the voice they "use". Unfortunately the only one I'm "allowed" to LISTEN TO is the one sitting next to me when she's in the car. Just easier to avoid the argument...

Defiantly the Australian chick
Grrrrr

I think most of us like Karen, the Aussie babe.
I edited the voice file using TTSEditor, and make her say my name with some commands. Very nice.

I Switch
I switch between the three females.
Bob: My toys: Nüvi 1390T, Droid X2, Nook Color (rooted), Motorola Xoom, Kindle 2, a Yo-Yo and a Slinky. Gotta have toys.
Sammantha
Sammantha was the default voice on my 265WT and I had gotten used to hearing her voice. I've tried others but keep switching back to Sammantha.
Tight lines
Voice I use
Jack seem to be clearer then Jill
Bad hearing
I have a hearing problem that is especially noticeable in noisy environments. "Jack's" voice is easier for me to understand.
I use Jack because of a hearing problem as well. His voice works much better than the others but if not for the bad hearing i would prefer the girl from down under.

My wife has not heard my changes for Karen yet. I'm in no hurry though. Interesting to see how she reacts. Probably an eye roll and a "you are a pervert' look.

Before GPS units when guys were lost, they refused to stop to ask for directions.

It's funny because it is true. I'm a great example.
Anyway, I think that I am going to edit Karen to say "David, you magnificent beast, you have arrived at ..."

Our favorite voice...
I received my first Garmin at Christmas 2012... and my 8-year old son & I like the Wallace & Gromit voice the best. We have tried Yoda, Sponge Bob, Dr. Nightmare, Jill and others... but we always come back to Wallace and his little tid bits for a long trip.

and something about Jill:
http://www.jilljacobsenvoice.com/about.html
I noticed that both of them have the same last name.
I always use Jill.
I prefer...
the British bird, she sounds very sext to me...wish she had more words in her vocabulary...kidding!
"Backward, turn backward, oh time in your flight, make me a child again, just for tonight."
Psych?

Still using American Jill but it seems Aussie Karen is popular. Will try her next.
Birthday Party ??
2012?

December 21st is my birthday. No one has told me what time of day on the 21st the world is ending, so I don't know if I'll have time to get my birthday party in!
Still using an editted version of the previous Jill!

I, Too, Appreciate the Mute Button
I keep it on mute.
My 3760 is muted except when travelling. My 255 is almost always muted.
When travelling, with thanks to turboccc, I use an edited version of Jill on the 3760 to announce traffic, turns, and other GPS generated announcements. On the 3760 I also use At&T Lauren to announce off-beat tourist attractions.
My co-pilot, when I have one, can use the muted 255 to view upcoming restaurants along the route. If travelling alone, my meal stops are planned ahead and programmed as via points on the 3760 which are announced by Jill.

American
I find the English pronounces some of the names of streets, etc. to be hard to understand.
May try the Aussies if I can get it.
