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.

 

sound clip anyone?

 

aww man they really fucked up.

i liked the old chick a lot.

 

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

 

i havent updated it

 

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.

 

so who has copies of the update?

 

I wish you could get ethnic navi voices. It woudl be great to have someone like my uncle do the voice.
OOOOO, jerkoff take a fucking left turn ova dere.
ahhh yeah, where do you wanna go today.

 

lol

 

Can't be copied.
It's a dual layer DVD w/7-GIG of data.

 

Just heard the new Navi voice for the first time last night and all i can say is i miss my old asian lady.

Still like all the updated POI's however.

 

when you upgrade does it keep your address book?

 

hey does it have a huge differnet between the new one and the old one we have right now?

 

::'(:

 

Yakov Smirnoff!

Turn left at fork in road.

In Soviet Russia, road forks you!

 

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:

New Navi Voice

 

o my god, that voice sound so old, the old voice is a lot batter

 

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