Garmin Voices: Cartman, Stewie, XXX, Borat, Governator, etc.
Editing vpm's is easy. There's two user friendly programs for that purpose: Voice Editor v0.8 and Turboccc's NonTTS Voice Editor.

And let me point out that these are not TTS files (Text to Speech). Which means, they won't be saying any street names. However, if your GPS does support TTS, you will also be able to upload these .vpms (losing the TTS directions).
If you would like to edit .vpm files with TTS, go to Turbo's website, where you'll find TTSVoiceEditor, an excellent program:

Voice Editor's creator is Rodolphe Suescun, user at GPSPassion's forum. He goes by the nick “Rodzilla”, and the topic where one can ask questions about his software is here (you'll have to speak french, though):

These are modified pigtone's .vup files, turned into .vpm files, which you can upload to your device or mobile phone with Mobile XT, without using Pigtone's uploader.

HOT HOT HOT Sedara, this is one dirty chick! RATED: R (don't use this .vpm if you have children in the vehicle). This is a .vpm file, just upload it to your device (1st keep a backup copy of your original English_American_.vpm).
