GPS voice

[crazidude]

Is it just me or is it that all, or most, of the GPS or voice activation voices are female and they sound pretty much the same? I don't have the luxury of owning a vehicle with either functions, but from what I've seen and from my friend's cars they've all been female voiced. Why the hell is that?

I didn't test many GPS, but always try every language available, and can't remember a male one :bah:

With the GPS system a friend of mine uses you can choose between 15 or so languages (including national differences, for example: UK-US-AUS English, or Belgian vs Dutch Dutch etc). And with all you can opt for a male or female. But for some much spoken languages you can choose between two female voices. One is a more sexy sounding voice, the other one sounds more firm No such difference exists for the male voice.

You should expect it otherwise, cause female drivers get lost more often

Well at work all our cars are defaulted to Female but I always change them to a male voice

No such difference exists for the male voice

the difference is this:

female: turn left .5miles

male: i think we turn left somewhere, we'll find it eventually
