So what are the changes?

Is there an update file listing out all the changes for the voice updates? I'm too lazy to go to the car to get the GPS and hook it up to my computer. If the updates are minor, I'm going to skip it.

.

I've not seen a list. (That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.) They changes to the voice files are typically listed in WebUpdater adjacent to each voice.

Based upon what I read when I loaded them, the changes are minor and mostly relate to future units.

I'd recommend just doing it the next time it's convenient or the next time you update your firmware.

A link to what?

The voice file updates? There's no link. You have to use WebUpdater.

Whatever voices are available for use on your unit will show up in the second part of WebUpdater when you run it.

Not all voices are available for all units.

Thanks yet again, Jack is now on the unit.

New voices

Does anyone know if Garmin plans to bring out any new "voices" for the GPS's?

Karen seems to do a better job than Jill at pronouncing the Spanish streets in Arizona. I seem to hear her better too!

Not true. I found the Jill

Not true. I found the Jill and Jack update package. WebUpdater is not the only option.
