Nuvi 855 voice defaults to Jill American English

Nuvi 855 voice defaults to Jill American English after last firmware upgrade. Anyone has the same problem? Garmin told me to do hard reboot but it didn't work.

Nuvi 750 voice defaults to Jill American English

Ahhh,

Finally! I was starting to think I was the only one on the planet with this issue. However, I am using a Nuvi 750 but have the exact same issue. I will change the voice setting to Lee and save the setting. His voice will then operate correctly and sometimes continue to do so after a couple power-off's and on's. Then maybe a time or two later all of a sudden Jill is back!

I also did the hard reboot and the keyboard "reset" and the problem always returns. Or perhaps I should say Jill always returns. :roll:

My unit didn't always do this, it started several months ago and it might have shown up after the last firmware update. - I am not sure, as I did a firmware update followed by a map update early in the year.

Bottom line, I have not found a fix - perhaps someone else will chime in?

Anyway thanks for posting, now I know I am not alone!

Have you tried to delete all the voices that you no longer need ? I removed all voices bar the one I have decided is the clearest, stops you fiddling around with settings :D

Voice Default To Jill

I have not tried that yet, I did already think of that as a possible solution. I even thought I would try renaming the files - changing the file name for Lee to Jill and see if that may fool it into what I want.

Last week in the effort at making more room on the internal memory I did delete all the languages that I will never need. That freed up almost a half-Gb. Additionally, I thought perhaps the extra free space might solve the "voice-change" issue but no such luck.

At least the problem isn't really that big of a issue - Jill is a pretty loud and clear voice, it's just that I can't get my way! :?

Thanks for the idea, I will give it a try sometime shortly.

That idea of yours sounds like a good one as well, no use keeping different languages if not needed, especially when they take up so much memory. :idea:

Nuvi 855 Voice defeaults to Jill American English

I have a Nuvi 855 too but mine tends to often revert to Emily - British English. I select Lee - Australian English on the way to work but when I start up to return home at the end of the day I am often geeted by Emily!
I'm glad to hear that someone else is experiencing a similar problem with their Nuvi 855.
