Maybe it's winter road noise, heater fan, ice crunching beneath the tires, the roar of the Jeep engine, or ears having heard too much loud rock music and gun shots, but I have a very hard time hearing the robot voice in flite while using Maemomapper.
Since most ambient road noises are lower in frequency, I think a femine voice, a couple kiloHertz higher in frequency would go a long way to helping the volume/coherence problem.
The stereo speakes aren't loud enough in many noisy settings either.
The idea of a bluetooth headset might work, but I don't want something in my ear for a long period while driving.
I have noticed that all headsets are not created equal. Certain brands/types seem to more closely match the output impedance of the headphone jack and seem louder. Try all you have to find the optimal match.
While I'm whining, I really dislike headsets with one side wire longer than the other which is the configuration of the pair sold with the N810

But yes, higher frequency helps some. I've made a wrapper for flite which enables volume control as well as frequency control. The frequency control, as implemented, just speeds it up, so it's not that great, but boosting frequency 5-10% helps a lot, IMHO.
I'm on an N800, and don't have a BT GPS (yet), so I've no motivation to adapt this as a maemo-mapper drop-in. But you could modify this wrapper and rename it flite, put it somewhere maemo-mapper finds it, and solve those problems.

I want my alsamixer! That just might fix the general problem.
