Reply With QuoteAlthough they're Linux based rather than proprietary Garmin OS, the nuvi 8x5 series use the same basic files as the other contemporary nuvi series so these voice files should work. In fact i think the only nuvi series these probably don't work in are 3x0 and 6x0.

I just recently got a Garmin 855T for my motorcycle. Can I load the Star Wars voices on this unit, is it compatible? Thanks for any help.

@Steevv
I think it's been fixed, look behind spoilers in initial post.

I quite dislike necroing old posts, but has anyone attempted to see if the voice pack will work on the Garmin DriveSmart device series?

@biscuitsmutt
No real problem in here, some forums do get anal about reviving old threads though and for no good reason other than internal culture.
Your DS should be ok with these basic 'non-TTS' voices with appropriate .unl code. It's more the Text To Speech voice files which can be strictly series/type-specific because there's a few different versions of TTS .vpm files. I don't have any Drive or DS series to hand at present or i'd gladly test them for you so just try them out - likely worst that will happen is showing "Incompatible voice file" message on start up and the absolute worst would be a soft-bricking which we can easily fix for you anyway. Please test and report back.
