    My new toy the EEE 1000H, so many things to do with it and the newest one for me is using it as a GPS device.

    I have the free trial of Microsoft Streets & Trips 2009 and from what I can tell all the spoken navigation is directly influenced by the text to speech voices in windows. So I have all of... 2 voices.

    Anne I think is her name, and then the guy lol.

    So what I really want to know is how/where can I get some new ones that are hopefully much better.

    ** They need to be free, so far google has only found me ones you have to pay for or a part of some program, so not sure if they will even work in S&T.

    On that note S&T 2009 is working great on the EEE and it was a lot of fun for me to take it on a test run earlier.

    I just did some searching, so there is no money back guarantee with this post (only on posts where there is explicitly one given is there actually one).

    The AT&T voices are supposed to be good, I have found a site called yaktome that has them to hear, and supposedly download but I see no download.

    I'll keep hunting, if anything a torrent file may have some of them.
