VPM Files not working

 

I copied some voice files (*.vpm) from a nuvi 260 to a nuvi 2557.
When I try to use them on the 2557 I receive msg
'Incompatable Audio Version'

Any fix to this?
Thanks

Here you go

This is TMI, but that's a trademark of my replies cool See:

primarily: Please note that each Garmin On-The-Road GPS device will use one of three voice engines and the voice engine available on the device determines which voices and voice updates your device will receive. It's therefore best not to simply copy voice files from one device to another, but instead to use Garmin's software to offer the appropriate voices and voice updates and to install them. Note that each of the three voice engines offer a voice named Jack, yet the filesizes and version numbers are different. These Jacks are not interchangeable.

Given all this, your 2557 has many voices available and can be installed using Garmin Express by clicking Tools&Content, then Utilities, then Optional Updates/Language Files, then presumably English. then Install Now. Good luck and have fun with them. Be sure to heed the On any Garmin device, you must choose a voice that offers "Speaks street names" or "Speaks Real Directions" if you want street names to be voiced. These are known as TTS or Text-To-Speech voices. If choosing a non-TTS voice, rather than hearing instructions like "In point two miles, turn right on Elm Street," you will just hear "In point two miles, turn right."

Thank You !
