I recently noticed that my Garmin 2798LMT GPS had a very large optional English language update available ~ 565 MB. Upon calling Garmin, they couldn't really explain what it contained other than voice enhancements for the voice recognition. Has anyone installed this and has anyone noticed any improvements in this? I'm not sure if it is an improvement in the actual voice recognition or the device's pronunciation of voice recognition commands and POIs. I also suspect that it won't actually take up a whopping 565 MB on the device and instead will be much less as it overwrites and updates the existing files.
If anyone has anything to add or noticed any actual improvements, I'd love to know. So far, I can't tell much of any difference.
What voices did you have before the update?
What voices did you have before the update? More than likely, the big update added new TTS3 voices to your device and may also have updated them to v2.00:

You may now have seven large TTS3 voices each with a file size of 20-31MB.
