Garmin On-The-Road GPS devices occasionally can receive additional voices or updates to voices. Many new Garmin devices come from the factory with only two voices: Samantha and Michelle. This FAQ will attempt to keep current with the latest English language voice versions. On any Garmin device, you must choose a voice that offers 'Speaks street names' or 'Speaks Real Directions' if you want street names to be voiced. These are known as TTS or Text-To-Speech voices. If choosing a non-TTS voice, rather than hearing instructions like 'In point two miles, turn right on Elm Street,' you will just hear 'In point two miles, turn right.' Most Garmin On-The-Road GPS devices offer both TTS and non-TTS voices.

There are also some alternate fun, celebrity or different voices offered by Garmin or others available and these are all non-TTS voices.Please note that each Garmin On-The-Road GPS device will use one of three voice engines and the voice engine available on the device determines which voices and voice updates your device will receive. It's therefore best not to simply copy voice files from one device to another, but instead to use Garmin's software to offer the appropriate voices and voice updates and to install them. Note that each of the three voice engines offer a voice named Jack, yet the filesizes and version numbers are different. These Jacks are not interchangeable.The most basic voice engine is offered on devices like the nuvi 40 and 265. A better voice engine is offered on devices like the nuvi 750, 855 and 2460. The best voice engine can be identified by terms like Real Directions and Real Voice and are known as TTS3 voices. A more detailed discussion of Real Directions can be found in this.On the older GPS devices, new voices and voice updates may be obtainable using Garmin's WebUpdater, Garmin Express software or at one time, the myGarmin web site.

The myGarmin website no longer offers new voices. Here is more information on software, as well as the website and software. On the newer Garmin GPS devices, additional new voices can only be obtained through Garmin Express. Although WebUpdater may update existing voices on many devices, it will not offer and add new voices to the newer devices. Garmin Express will offer voice updates to the active voice along with other device updates, but will not offer updates to the installed but not active voices.Therefore, there are two ways to update voices on your device:1) One way to be certain that you have the latest voice updates with Garmin Express is to repeat the method used to install them in the first place: with the device attached to the computer and selected, go to the Tools & Content section of Garmin Express, then click the Optional Updates, then Language Files, then English, then Install.
