When I got to Karen's voice, my three-year-old cast her vote saying, "She sounds friendlier than the others", and so Karen-from-Australia has now become the GPS voice in our household. It doesn't hurt that reading about her in the piece makes her seem even friendlier, either. :) I picked up a Garmin 265WT last month, and was working my way through the various voices, as I didn’t like the default voice.

She sounds so pleased with herself. I also don't mind hearing recalculating. It usually means I messed up and she is going to help me recover.
