Warning: dumb GPS question.

I recently gave my old Garmin to my son and replaced it with a Garmin 2555LM. It is quite similar to the old one, only with some nice new options. However, I miss "Hal" terribly. I was able to choose a male voice on the old model and I prefer a male because my high frequency hearing is diminished. I tried both female voice choices on my new Garmin but I really understand a male voice more easily. Also, the women say "Slay-in Road" instead of "Slay-Ton Road" and this absolutely drives me nuts. I can't believe the speakers used aren't more carefully screened for proper pronunciation. Anyway, the voice I call Hal was much clearer and less annoying so I would like to find a decent male voice for the new Garmin.
Before anyone chides me for being too picky, I have Asperger Syndrome and those of us on the Autism spectrum are perceived as very sensitive and quirky.
