New Navi Voice?

Just wondering if the voice on the new navi disc is different than the 4'9'' oriental sounding female voice on my current nav disc.

Yup, unfortunately it’s been “Americanized”.
I like the old one better, but I’ll take better road coverage over an Asian voice any day.

Yeah I don't like the new one either. She sounds like an old bitch who smokes too much.

I never used the voice. It was only for show.

Just got the new disk today. HATE the new voice. But I'll get over it... I do like how the blue line for the route is much thicker and easier to see. The screen also does seem to move smoother.

Everyone keeps asking about the voice. Well, daggummit, I made a voice sample for y'all to hear. The quality isn't the greatest as I grabbed it off one of those voice memo recorders, but you'll get the idea. Closest I can think of is Demi Moore after a heavy night of drinking and smoking:

It's not too bad.
Looks like they lowered the pitch a bit.
