The latest release (v3.73) has quite good features enabling you to open and view your files in GoogleEarth and MapSource. It can also open POI Loader.

Slightly off topic, but all the same...

TurboCCC's recent entry in GpsPasSion Forum:

Posted - 27 Aug 2011 : 07:15:01
I finally broke the encoding of DrNightmare and other encrypted non-TTS voices. I really like those random statements the GPS can speak.

For example, you can record different phrases for "Arriving on left", or have different phrases for "Recalculate". They are spoken randomly so you get less tired of hearing always the same thing.

I have not decided what I am going to do with this knowledge:

1- Convert encrypted non-TTS to regular non-TTS?
2- Take any encrypted non-TTS and let you add different random statements. For example, VoiceStudio from Garmin does not allow you to add those random statements. Only VoiceCreator allows you to do so. Having a tool that adds those statements to VPM voices made with VoiceStudio could be interesting I think.
3- I know a few of you wants to change the voice name or have a silent voice. Yes, that is on my toDo list. I did not forget...

Let's see which one will go out first...


This NonTTSVoiceEditor will be released as version 2.00
