Saw a programme of the same thing a few months ago, but can't remember whether it was Channel 2 or SBS.

Cheers,
Sheba.

I saw it on ABC, can't recall if it was News or 7.30 Report. Could have been on NBN or elsewhere too, don't know. NBN is the "call-sign" of the Nine affiliate serving Newcastle, Nthn NSW, Gold Coast.

My Garmin has some options to select a voice under the Tools, Settings, Language menu and lists "Karen". Her voice is very clear and easy to understand, she's also not a bad looking sort!

Karen the voice is no big news. She was heavily featured on the ABC last year. The news bit is that she has returned to Oz and singing in clubs.

It probably is news to those who didn't see the program or know of Karen though wouldn't you say?

My son was using Sean Connery, but his accent was a bit confusing.

But I did get a giggle out of the 'shaken not stirred' when we reached our destination. biggrin

We have the 'Dave06' favourite on ours. "Naggin' Nancy" I think her name is spin.gif 

Bye the way (and apologies for going off topic) but does anyone in the GN's forum know how our old friend Dave 06 is keeping these days?
