Copy any of the voice files from the folder ( all 3 files: CHK, BMP and VIF) and paste into the folder voices or tomtom root folder (i.e. Copy all the files to that folder: data88.chk and data88.bmp and data88.vif).

Known for the ability to customize its devices, TomTom continues to expand its available voices for its GPS navigators with the addition of Yoda, the legendary Jedi.

In one video, Yoda is asked to keep his signature 'hmms' to a minimum.
Some Links don't work. I got Yoda / Darth Vader / Kit / Homer. Something to entertain on the drive in. Some of these are pretty bad or downright annoying. I downloaded a bunch when I bought this on Black Friday and the only ones I have remaining are KITT and Yoda.
It gets old after about three instructions when you listen to 'left you must turn'. Homer must be the UK Homer voice because it sounds nothing like him. Connery was annoying. Evil was poorly done. There were a few others that I thought would be good.
But they weren't. It's cool for about five seconds then I went back to one of the provided female voices. I noticed that with the 'celebrity' voices a lot of the instructions got garbled, were repeated twice or incorrectly all together like saying 'right' instead of 'left'. Sorry to thread crap but don't get too excited. At least they were free.
