General Questions


Do your voices Support TTV?

No- not at this time

at this time any modified voices do not support TTV. We may in the future, or even some model may allow for a computer voice to simulate the TTV, depending on your model.


Is my Personal Information and credit card information safe?


-Yes absolutely.

We use 1shoppingcart.com and highly recommend them for security and privacy of all financial transactions.

We Hate spam too! So we NEVER give out your email. You will only hear from us.


What GPS units do you support?


At this time we only support Garmin and TOM TOM. We have plans for additional units. Please check back with us from time to time.




GARMIN QUESTIONS

How Come my Garmin device is not showing up on my computer?

Depending on which GPS you have, it may not show up in the 'My computer”. This is something that Garmin did with early GPS units. Most specifically the C300 series. ( C310 C330, C340 Et. al)




How come when I click install on the installer it says to connect my GPS but it is connected and I can view the contents.

You may need to update your installer to the latest Garmin Installer. The computer can see it, but the installer may still be looking for it. Go to www.pigtones.com on the GARMIN page and download it now.



How Come the 300 series of “Street Pilots” are not supported?



For reasons listed above, we are unable to support the C300 Series of Garmin at this time. We are working on it, and may have a solution soon. Please check back with us, and we will let you know when we solve that problem.



What does the installer do For Garmin?


We have created a simple installer for the voice files for installing. Simply purchase, download to your desktop, and double click on the .VUP icon. It will automatically load the voice into the library, and with one click, you can install into your Garmin GPS.



Where is my voice on my Garmin?


When you have loaded the voice you can select the

  1. The Wrench tool

  2. the LOCALE button

  3. and under the Mouth Icon, you select “American English”

  4. your voice is ready to go.

     

To return to a regular boring old voice just repeat the above list, and select “British English”


Why is it always the same voice on my Garmin? Why always “American English”?

 

The Garmin only allows so many voices on the system and it only recognizes the factory set names at this time. Check back with us and the installer, we will eventually be able to put different names ON your Garmin GPS.



in the GARMIN I see the voices are .VPM, but I have a .VUP on my desktop. Will it work?


-No

The .VUP is a format we use to be able to install quickly via the installer on your GPS. It is our own proprietary format that allows us to quickly deliver to your GPS the wright voice.




How come the installer is not working?


There maybe a couple simple reasons the installer isn't working some of the things to check

  1. This is a GARMIN only installer right now. Check to see if you have a GARMIN GPS.

  2. Check to make sure your GPS is connected to the computer via USB cable

  3. As part of beta testing, we are improving the installer, and continually make upgrades available. Please check to see if you have the latest version.

  4. AGAIN, THIS IS A GARMIN INSTALLER, PLEASE CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GARMIN GPS. Just in case you didn't hear it the first time.

What others think about PIGTONES

I bought my GPS after using one in a rental car. It was effective but boring. Your voices make the ride a blast!

Phil H.


My pigtones voice was easy to install and my whole family enjoys it. It was a simple step by step procedure. I look forward to downloading another!!

Bobby R.

It breaks the boredom of a repo guy's life. This duck and steal bullsh*t is so boring.

David P.

What I really liked was the quick response to a tech. question I had. They are more than helpful.

Peter F.

I did not know what to expect when i first started downloading, but once my kids heard yoda navigating how to get on the freeway, they went nuts. When I got lost and heard "Finding a new route I am, patient you must be," the kids went bonkers again.
