Check this out:

Ivona is just a TTS engine and you add whatever accent you prefer, basically it's a library. Instructions are on the site and the PlayStore, but it's dead easy. Note that it obviously takes a hard reboot for the settings to take effect.

I'm currently being told where to go by Nicole.
I actually prefer no voice guidence @coyote.

So if I don't need voice guidence do I just download the google maps app and use navi in there? For offline maps how do I do that?

I can handle the root stuff but usually use apple with the car about the only place I have android so I am hopeless with it.
