Re: Garmin GPS.......

iGuidance is very slick in this regards, but the voice is not as smooth as garmin or tomtom, on my mogul iGuidance crackles and is a little choppy. Also I couldn't stand the look of iGuidance, it just isn't as visually nice as tomtom or garmin while being navigated. I guess I can live with looking down to read the street name when it says 'turn ahead', especially since the phone has a free gps chip, which is mind blowing to me as-is

There are other "voices" that have TTS for other devices (nuvi and streetpilot). They are also available for download at Garmin's site. With all the tech/programming savvy people on here someone may find a way to fix this problem. Any thoughts?
