TomTom Voices - 000 Squidmund Leaves The Farm

SL got me a TomTom GPS for Christmas. Jennifer and I finally got around to setting it up and using it last night. We loved it, of course, but then we hooked it up to the computer and we were playing around with the voices today. Pretty soon, she figured out that we could record our own voices for it, so we recorded all 59 unique messages, linked them together, created an index, and an image file. It took a couple of hours, but when we were through, we were able to load "Squidmund's" voice into the TomTom One 130 without too much difficulty.

For a sample of our work, play the You Have Arrived At Your Destination message.

If you're interested in creating your own content for the TomTom, the directions are here.

If you want to use my files, feel free. Connect your TomTom to your PC and from TomTom Home, select "Add Traffic, Voices, Safety Cameras, etc.", then click on "Voices", then "Recorded Voices", and then select the first one in the list ("000 Squidmund Leaves The Farm"). Alternately, download these 3 files and copy them into the Voices folder of your TomTom:
