You can try hex editing the binary like this fellow did >> http://jacekowski.org/Maemo/FMTXD

or,

Record a long MP3 of silence and run the media player and your GPS will interrupt it when giving voice guidance.

or,

Produce or find an internet radio station that broadcasts dead air and have media player connect to that instead.

(I don't know if the connection time out can be modified but if it can, a bogus radio IP address will do the trick because the transmitter stays connected while it is finding the station.)
