The TomTom CD comes with a number of different voice files, but there are a couple of other places to pick up some new voices to heighten your driving pleasure. TomTom products allow you to use different voice files to switch from the standard voice, to something a little more fun. These can be purchased from retailers such as Partmaster Direct. These typically come on an SD card, and are for a number of different countries and regions, such as: Western Europe, Italy / Spain, Portugal, Andorra / France / Great Britain / Belgium, The Netherlands & Luxembourg / Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland & Czech Republic / Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway / USA / Australia.
