Queen's English in the US?

Anyone know if it is possible to use the UK version of the voices in the US? I really found the british female much more soothing for TomTom with my hacky PocketPC GPS setup...

You can certainly do that but you have to be aware that there are subtle differences.

Motorway <> Highway
Petrol Station <> Gas Station
Roundabout <> Huh, what? (Rotary, traffic circle)

and so on.

I installed the UK female voice (Jane) on my US version and it works perfectly. (TT2, ipaq 3950).

Much more sophisticated and sexy.

Jane?

I call mine Nagging Nora!

You are right though, who is Jane, is she single..... :D

Okay, I'll get my coat (Simon leaves stage exit left)

Maybe a new thread here - what do you call your GPS system - mine is 'Doris'

Yes I am sad Smile
