The guidance voice on a Garmin GPS is beneficial because it provides step-by-step instructions, such as when to turn and the names of streets and highways for improved trip navigation. Although a Garmin nuvi comes with a pre-set default voice, changing to a different voice is a personalization preference that customizes your GPS. In addition, downloading and installing more voices provides even more options to enhance navigation.
