If you don't have nav is the voice control linked to bluetooth?

I can only change from English to French or Spanish. All voices are female. I used to have a lovely polite lady on my bus nav now I have a very abrupt American lady with no please's or thank you's.

I can use it for my phone book attached to my bluetooth. The male voice is just so sterile -

I have the same (business nav, and only phonebook voice control), but I have a female voice. Perhaps its UK vs USA? She sounds like a german speaking english though, and in a totaly different league than the polite British nav-lady.
