anyone has the british emily tts voice?
appreciate if you post it online.

Try this one (not sure if it's for Sing/Mal units though) :-k http://www.sendspace.com/file/yguhpt

As for Webupdater not showing any voice updates, try this tip I posted here: viewtopic.php?p=91403#p91403

3) Current.gpx > when I copy my backup current.gpx(500kb) back into the 765 - it copied without any problems. But when I turn on the garmin, all favourites/home were gone. I reconnect it to my PC and discover that a 3kb current.gpx is there in GPX folder. I have already tried OVERWRITE, delete and copy/paste. 3 times now > my 500kb gpx just disappear on reboot.

Rename old CURRENT.GPX (500kb) to TEMP.GPX (or any name) and place it in same folder.

Example for using RGNvoiceEditor which created by turboCCC.
you may use the program check SgMy firmware support which Audio File,
no need one by one delete the audio file see which one incompatible.
see below SgMy firmware 255W support audio voice file,

Thanks for the tip, but where to get the utility? It seems there is no more link for it at http://turboccc.wikispaces.com/

I'd recommend only the voice files, if there are incompatible ones, you can just remove it later. For other additional updates, just rely on software updates from Garmin Sg site instead.
