You gotta tweak your stuff! Don’t think that your GPS can’t be tweaked to your liking, one thing you can start with on your Garmin GPS is a changing of the voice.

Just in case you’re looking to modify a TomTom voice file you can read about how to do that here: How to Change or Create TomTom GPS Voices

It’s not that hard to do but we’re going to assume that you have your Garmin GPS fully hooked up to your computer and you’re able to access it like a regular drive. If you can’t get to this point with your GPS just stop reading right here because this tweak is just not for you.

Assuming you have your Garmin GPS hooked up to your computer you should be able to access the voice file by navigating to the directory [drive letter]nuvi\Garmin\Voice.

The voice on your system will show up as a .vpm file and you’re going to need a copy of it on your computer to work with. I usually make a working directory for something like this with a folder in it called \archive and I store the original copies of the file in the \archive directory in the case that something goes wrong.

Now that you have your voice file in the working directory of your choice you’re going to need a little utility so imaginatively called a “Voice File Utility”. I’ve uploaded a copy of the Garmin Voice File Utility and you can find it by searching for “Garmin Voice File Utility”. A big thanks goes out to Ash10, whoever you are, for this sweet little utility.

Start the Voice File Utility and point it over to the voice file that you downloaded off of your Garmin GPS, when this little mule has finished working you’ll end up with about 116 .wav files for you to customize, replace or change however you want to.

Once you’ve finished modifying your voice files into the most sexy, soothing and caressing womanly voice you can pack into a .wav file you’ll need to start up the Voice File Utility and pack it all back up.

When you’re done put this file into the original directory that it was in and you’re pretty much listo!
