RGNVoiceEditor. Current version is v1.04. You can find it here:

Here's how to use it:

0. Download RGNVoiceEditor v1.04+ from the link above.

1. Click the Open button and select your GCD or RGN firmware. This must be the proper TWN firmware modified for your HWID gps. If you have no clue what I am talking about, read the thread about the TWN firmware from the link above.

2. You should see a list of supported voice on the left side. On the right side, you can select the new voice you want to add. Do not change the English_American_ voice.

3. For each voice you select in step 2, you need to convert it to make it compatible with the TWN firmware. Click the button to select a US-firmware-type voice and to convert it to TWN firmware. the suffix 'twn' will be automatically added to the modified file. We'll talk about this later.

4. You need to save the modified firmware with the new voice. Click the Save button. The new firmware will be saved as RGN.

5. You are nearly done. You need to flash your GPS with the new firmware. If you do not know how, you should probably go and watch TV. This is not for the weak of heart. Read also all about it in the TWN firmware thread with the link above.

6. Copy the modified VPM file to your GPS. Make sure to remove the 'twn' suffix I added to the file. It needs to have the original name when put on the GPS.

Official disclaimers:

*** Do this at your own risks! ***
*** Do not flash any FW if you are getting weird errors ***
*** Do not use RGNVoiceEditor if you did not make the TWN firmware work prior to using this program ***

Known bugs: I think the new voices will appear under the previous voice name. If you replaced the Fukein__ voice for the Russkiy__ voice, you may find it under the Fukein__ name.

History:
========

v1.06 - Automatically adds missing .rgn extension to filename when saving.
- Fixed a runtime error when converting VPM files.
- Limited processing to RGN input file only. GCD can be bugged. Fixing soon.

v1.05 - fixed a corrupted RGN issue when VPM was converted before RGN saved.

Hello,

I think the solution provided with RGNVoiceEditor is just what I need.
Just a bit different.

My problem:
I have a Japanese nüvi 1360 with German language installed, I even programmed a German keyboard layout. But whatever I do, it just won't recognize any German voice files! However, Garmin provides for fun a voice in Austrian German dialect - it DOES recognize this one. So there must be some setting like "region code" on DVD, meaning my 1360 CAN play German but is just set to "mustn't play German", right?

Unfortunately, the voice editor doesn't work for 1360 - or is there a workaround?
Do I just have to rename the right file, edit it and then rename it back?

Any help would be appreciated!
I will pay 20 EUR via Paypal to the first one who enables me to play German and British English on my GPS. I am thankful for any help to enable the German TTS-voices as well! (available for free download from Garmin Germany)
