Upgrading audio version of i3

Hey all
The "About" option on my i3 tells me I have Audio Version 2.00 with my newly updated Software Version 3.20. I have read people talking about Audio Version 2.50 on this board, how can I update this?

Hi Zogman
That's how I upgraded from 2.70 to 3.20 - using WebUpdater. It doesn't offer me any audio version upgrades.

Totally, zogman.

When going up to 3.20, the Webupdater asked me if I wanted to check for further updates; said yes and it found v2.60 Voice. I didn't download this as reading the version info, I find I could care less if I have another 5 languages I can't speak on my unit!

Agree - you should be able to pick a language when downloading voice. The amalgamated Voice file is huuuuge.

After all, Garmin go to the bother of only loading maps specific to the target sale country, so why not Voice also?

Or looking at it another (clearly more cynical) way, the reason Garmin only load limited maps could be so that they'll get more revenue when Brits (readers are advised that there are other nationalities available) go abroad and need to buy more maps.

Talk is cheap, maps cost more. Wink

i meant upgrading the firmware (v3.2) manually, without using the webupdater...download the file and click on 'updater.exe'... hopefully it will upgrade your audio as well...
