Laptop GPS map software with French audio guidance
Is there any pc software that exists for Canada/Usa, that can also gives french voice guidance while travelling in the car (or user can select between english/french)
 If not, is there any known standalone unit that can do this? Thanks for the answer

Re: Laptop GPS map software with French audio guidance
 Garmin Mobile PC comes to mind first. Can anyone think of another laptop GPS software that speaks French?

Re: Laptop GPS map software with French audio guidance
Thanks Marvin.
It looks to be an interesting choice. Here are additionnal questions for this product: 1- Is Mobile PC is available in a software only version that is compatible with pharos igps-500 (bundled with S&T 2008)? 2- Becaused i am very used to MS S&T, to plan routes at home, can i achieve similar behavior with maproute or nroute (these need to be bought separatly), or Mobile PC is enough? Thanks for the info

Re: Laptop GPS map software with French audio guidance
Mobile PC is compatible with the S&T GPS receiver if you purchase the software-only version.
Mobile PC is capable of multiple stop routing and sorting like S&T. You can also save multiple routes. However it can't print maps or route directions as S&T does. In my opinion, it is easier to setup routes in S&T. Mobile PC works very well with MapSource (a free download) with one caveat. You must have a map already for MapSource. You can not use the one that comes with Mobile PC. Terry

 Does the "Français Canadien" have the Quebec accent and phrasal verb ? Coup donc ! J'imagine des directions avec l'accent du Lac St-Jean côlisse !

Re: Laptop GPS map software with French audio guidance
I can't comment on this one, as I don't speak French

Re: Laptop GPS map software with French audio guidance
He's just having some fun, Marvin. He's wondering how the directions would sound with a Lac St-Jean accent. Lac St-Jean is in the eastern townships. For, say, a Montrealer it's kind of like a New Yorker trying to understand New Orleans cajun.

Re: Laptop GPS map software with French audio guidance
In that case the answer is most certainly a yes.
