"Betty" is the name universally given to the (American) female voice of Garmin's audio-equipped nav units. The origins of this are lost in the mists of, er... mistiness - but once you've heard her, it's clear that no other name but "Betty" could possibly be used.
All iQue and Streetpilot owners will swear that Betty gets a bit tetchy, if you ignore her directions. Married users especially, recognise the unmistakeable tone when she says: "Off route - (sigh) - recalculating..."

I haven't heard it but I imagine it's similar to Mrs yob's exasperated "That's someone's garden - (sigh) - dolt!" |
