SatNav voice download

You may enjoy Richard Paterson on his whisky blog, you may find his whisky tweets entertaining and follow him on Facebook as well as enjoying the whiskies he helps produce – and now here’s something for the whisky fan who has a car: whisky master blender Richard Paterson’s distinctly Scottish voice as a free download for the TomTom Sat Nav devices.

It’s a bit of fun, but there’s also a serious message behind this: don’t drink and drive. From time to time you’ll hear a message from Richard reminding you of that. Whisky and driving is one cocktail that should never be tried.

To download, click this link, unstuff/decompress the file, then follow the following instructions:

1. Connect your TomTom to your computer via the USB Cable and switch it on.
2. Find your TomTom device on your desktop and open it up by double clicking.
3. Find the Voices folder.
4. Copy the three parts of the voice (data99.chk, data99.vif, data99.bmp) to the Voices folder.
5. Turn the TomTom off, disconnect it and then restart it.
6. Cycle through the voices and Richard should be there.

If you need further help, the TomTom Forums should be able to help.
