997.2 Navigation voice

Same with my Garmin. The British voice offers a friendly "recalculating," where the American one shrewishly whines, "recalculating," with a sigh you can almost hear, and an implied "you idiot" afterwards. (or an "I can't believe I married you.")
On the other hand, the American woman knows the highway vernacular. I missed a turn onto Kentucky's 1499 S while waiting for the British lass to finish saying "Approaching Kai One Thousand Four Hundred And Ninety Nine S"; other weird manglings are "Ocean Doctor" for what must appear on a map as "Ocean Dr."
And then there's New York's rt. 27, which she calls "Poughmia." I finally realized one day that it's signed "POW/MIA Memorial Highway..."

I tried the German - whoops - not only was the voice changed but all the menus - was a bit worried for a sec that I might not find my way back to England.

"Please turn on Fair-FAX Junc-TION R-D" (not "road", "ARRR-DEEE")
It was a treat during our cross-country drive in the summer. LOL
