I'm sure Garmin can do it too...

But for TomTom's...here is how

System: TomTom Navcore
Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: 5 minutes

On your PC
1. Open mspaint.exe ( Start > Run > mspaint.exe )
2. Open BMP image that you want to use as a car symbol ( File > Open )
3. Edit image to make some nice symbol
4. Fill in the image background with red (RGB 255,000,000)
5. Resize to size between 24 x 24 pixels and 128 x 128 pixels (e.g. 80 x 80 )
6. Save image as 256 color bitmap (BMP) to your PC
7. Copy your customised car symbol to your TomTom in the subfolder /art/cars


On your TomTom:
1. Disconnect TomTom
2. Goto the main menu > Change preferences > Change car symbol
3. Select your customised car symbol

Enjoy

Most of the "free" voices are poor imitators. I've added about 10 different ones to mine along with the rear shot of my truck. Free voices

Tinkering with your Tom Tom will make you go blind.
