suicidal satnav

[lyefieldguy]

Is there any way to change the sat nav voice? She sounds suicidal, which is a shame in such a positive car!

As far as I know, there is no alternative, other than turning her down completely

I wonder if it is the same or different in AU spec vehicles. The sound of lady in my AU spec PHEV is very pleasent

I hope it is different in Australia. I can't imagine you antipodeans putting up with the bossiness of this woman. It's almost as though she's just got up and hasn't had her first cup of coffee yet.

I must confess I miss the 'Mr T' voice I had installed on my TomTom

I just don't trust a woman to give me the correct directions. I'm sure she would direct me to the nearest shoe shop. :lol:

Mr Hindley, this was not supposed to be a bashing women post. On the whole I prefer a woman's voice on my sat nav. It's just that this one - whether male or female - sounds like death warmed up.
I am surprised that as a moderator of this forum you feel it appropriate to make sexist jokes about shoe shops. I'm a man and funnily enough I sometimes need to buy shoes too.

Not bashing women, I am happily married to one, just keeping things lighthearted. Apologies to all those without a sense of humour. :mrgreen:

Only thing bothers me is that sometimes even though I do what she says, she repeats the instruction again. Such as; it says make a left turn, I do, after making the turn it repeats turn left instruction :evil:
