Help Map/Navigation voice

[FlyingPigL]

I used to like the Google Map navigation voice. She sounded somewhat cheerful. This one sounds like she's attending a robo funeral somewhere between the UK and the US. Not entirely pleasant.

Does anyone know whether we can change those mournful tones to something a bit more pleasant if not mellifluous - not changing the app, just the voice?

Yes, you can.

Ok, maybe the Dark Lord isn't exactly your style, but you can see what other voices are available from the same author.
