I believe there is a PayPal button on the software. |

It's actually the same version - but if you donate you get to use the options that are 'greyed' out in the free download. |
Hi there. I donated, but the options to enable voice are still greyed out? How do I fix this? I am happy to forward my PayPal receipt to prove that I did donate. |
I've donated too and everything is still greyed out. |Is there an unlock code or something? |

Once Ash has got your donation then he emails you instructions - perhaps he is on hols at present? _________________ Phil |

Hi,
Does anybody (ash?) know something about the first part of the .vpn-file s internal format (that splits into _000.wav in the excellent util ash wrote)? It's obviously includes information about how to link the varios audio segments and perhaps the name in some encoded form. What I want is to be able to change the name which displays in the unit when choosing language, to have a couple of variants of the same language. I can't take the other language files as they includes a different number of samples in wrong order.

It would be nice if someone could upload a modified voices file for us to try. |

On my meanderings through the topics I have seen references to Homer voices being available, though I didn't pay a lot of attention to them myself. There is a thread "voices" which mentions a site, and somewhere else someone said they had downloaded Homer voices. |

Hi new here and was asking about the volume on the nuvi 660FM and was directed here and glad i was found it very usefull, had a play and it looks like setting volume to 99 is prob the loudest. I tryed 120 and it would not read it and also tryed 9F and this was very very quiet also when I tryed BF it didnt read it either.Just one question well for now anyway.. , can the volume of the none TTS voice be modded so its louder??
Thanks |

I've been saving my own voice files, used voice utility to merge them backinto the vpm file, but after copying the vpm file back to my Nuvi250 it crashes as soon as it starts to speak. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? |

Is it possible for more experianced users to compile a list of voices they have made so that the less experianced users, like myself could then copy or pay for then so we can just put in in the voices file in the Garmin ?
Just an idea as I don't think I'm going to be capable to make these fiels etc ?? |

Sorry if this has been covered - I did see this question asked, but could not locate a solution.
I downloaded the software and pointed to my English_American.vpm file - however there is nothing that I can put in the "sound samples" box (via browsing) to get it to accept anything. It's looking for a .wav file and even if I put a .wav file in a desktop folder, it doesn't see it.
I am comfortable with the rest of the solution and how to implement new sounds/voices, but I can't get past this phase.
Any help would be appreciated. |
