VOICE PACKAGE FOR NAVIGATION-RELATED DATA

摘要

The invention relates to a position-determining device and to a method of selecting an utterance for output by a position-determining device. The device comprises a navigation signal receiver operable to determine a current geographic location of the device, a processor coupled with the navigation signal receiver, an audio output device coupled with the processor, and computer-readable storage media operable to be accessed by the processor. Computer-executable instructions are stored on the computer-readable storage media and executable by the processor to identify a plurality of utterances corresponding to a single expression, pseudo-randomly select one of the identified utterances, and output a representation of the selected utterance through the audio output. The method comprises identifying, in a language database resident on the position-determining device, a plurality of utterances corresponding to a single expression, pseudo-randomly selecting one of the identified utterances, and audibly outputting a representation of the selected utterance through an audio output associated with the position-determining device.
