Voices and Voice volume

[wheresduke]

I just installed Go Navigation on my car's Android head unit, still searching for something more readable than Google Maps. In setting things up, I came across an odd thing when downloading (or trying to download) voices. I'm in the US, so have set units to miles as opposed to kilometers. I tried to download a couple of voices that had a US flag next to them, so assumed they were appropriate for my use. Got an error message that they were incompatible with my selected measurements (miles). And yet, I'm currently using a UK voice that seems to work just fine. A bit of a head-scratcher...

Also, very confused by the "channels" method of controlling voice volume. I had to just pause my music since I couldn't hear directions. From some Google searches, there was apparently a volume slider at one point. Not sure who's bright idea it was to delete that feature. Any recommendations on which channel is loudest? I've tried a couple but they seem about the same to these aged ears.

Thanks for any light you can shed.
