Some older TTS Voice files such as Jill will not work on the newer Garmin units.
Here is the link to download Garmin Express

@@TheVacCorner Your location makes no difference in choosing the voice file, the model number and firmware of the GPS will be the main factor. Some older and very popular TTS voices do not work on the newer Garmin units. To see the list of all compatible voices for your device you need to connect the GPS to your computer then download and run Garmin Web Updater, it will give you the list of all available options. Make sure it is not Garmin Express but GarminWebUpdater.exe

Hello Khalid. Thank you for another interesting video. I recently found my old Garmin Nuvi 300 gathering dust in a drawer and wondered if it’s something I should throw away now, or if it’s still a useable device. I think I must have had it for something like 20 years, so it’s clearly an old model. As far as I’m aware, it still works, although I seem to have mislaid the power cable at the moment. Should I bin it, or is it possible for me to update it?

No problem, you don't have to throw it away, there are updates for it and it still works great. The only issue is that it only supports up to 2GB of SD Card, and you can't put the entire United States on the SD Card. So you have to split it between the SD Card and the GPS Internal Memory.

Hi. I have a Garmin Drivesmart 50 and have managed to copy voice file Australian Lee onto it but I’m not getting any spoken directions. I understand that the file might be incompatible- although it appears to be the same as the other voice files. Is there a way of converting the file or obtaining a compatible version? I have successfully copied Lee onto a Garmin 2595 - which is not as ‘smart!’

Hello, can you tell me with which camera charger can I charge a garmin drive 51 lmt s gps, can I charge it with a phone charger? Thank you
@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101
@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 2 жыл бұрын
All USB Chargers are 5V DC regardless of the make and model, however the current differs. On some chargers it's 500ma, 1A, 1.5A, 2.0A, and 2.5A the best one is 2.5A that charges the GPS the fastest. However all the other ones will also charge it at a slower pace.

I need an empty language file to install in my zumo 390. I will explain why: I want only to hear the speed radars alerts and road bumps. I tried to create an empty file with notepad and rewrote the extension to ".vpm", but it didn't work. I will appreciate if someone could help me doing this.

That depends on the exact model number of your Garmin GPS. On some models it goes inside the G:\Garmin/voices folders, and in the newer models, it goes inside G:\.system/voices folder. The .System folder is invisible so you need to watch this video to make it visible. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ateVfcaZ3rGynGQ.html
