Just got a nuvi 1450LMT and there's no American English Samantha voice.
How can I get her back?

I see that web page-- but when I connect my 1450LMT and run Webupdater,
there's only a fairly short voice list-- and no Samantha.

Any idea for how to get to a more comprehensive list? The list when I
used to have a 255W was quite long-- and included Samantha.

Is it possible to copy Samantha's voice file from your older GPS?

Further info: I copied the Samantha voice files (.sum and .vpm) from a
255W to the 1450LMT. Samantha appeared in the 1450's
Settings\Language\voice list but when I selected it, I got an
"incompatible audio format" error message.

What's with that? I figured a Garmin voice is a Garmin voice...

Yeah, I thought the same. What a bummer...

I expect they have a policy of "continuous improvement", spelled "frequent
incompatibilities"...
