Thread: Garmin Language Guide

Garmin Language Guide
Requirements: Garmin Nüvi Series 3XX, 6XX, 7XX, 8XX and 5000 (Note: Not working in US/EU nuvi7x5 with fw v4.00>, but see base of this post for possible workaround.[*])
Overview: The optional Garmin Language Guide contains a multilingual word bank, phrase bank and five bilingual dictionaries (with data provided by Oxford University Press). It replaces the "Lite" version installed on the Nüvi.

The multilingual word and phrase bank supports nine languages and dialects, including American English, British English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish.

Using the Language Guide, you can look up and translate more than 17,000 words or 20,000 phrases per language. And with nüvi’s text-to-speech interface, you can get a spoken pronunciation of each word or phrase in the data bank, along with gender and part-of-speech information.

N.B. I've carefully read the whole Garmin Travel Guide: Europe post (by the way: I tried to install that Travel Guide on my Nüvi 760 with NO success... ) and I think this is more or less the same case. I don't have the possibility to prove, as I got the original (purchased) product, installed first on my "old" Nüvi 360 and now on my new Nüvi 760; so, good luck to all

P.S. For make this to work properly, you need to install AT LEAST the TTS language files corresponding to the language contained into the Guide (or at least the languages you're interested in). By default, they were all installed but sometimes the unused ones have been deleted to gain memory space on device. Use [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] to replace them if necessary.

[*]If you really want it to work in nuvi7x5, you can try a flash to Asian firmware:
