GPS Nav voices

so, as mentioned in the christmas thread...

I got a TOMTOM for christmas.

installed voices are lacking. any recommendations for updates. cheap?

I'd really like a Stewie Griffen (family guy) voice.

Sweet, there's Darth Vader voice. I can only imagine what would happen if you don't follow its directions:

GPS: [In Vader's voice] Keep straight.
Driver: Nah, I know a shortcut. I'll take this right. [turns right]
GPS: I find your lack of faith in my directions disturbing...
Driver: [clucthes neck, starts choking]

GOB from Arrested Development would be great...

"Turn right...I've made a huge mistake..."

be carefull, half the frebies on the tomtom site suck, the free vader is HORRID

Is it wrong that I have never really wanted one of these things too badly until I looked at those alternate voices? Now I suddenly NEED to have K.I.T.T. or Homer Simpson telling me where to go.

Doesn't John Cleese do a voice for TomTom? That alone would make me buy that brand.

Most of the ones for the Garmin are pretty bad as well. None I have found are real.

radio shack has a knight rider (KITT ver 1.0) GPS

We have God on our Tom Tom show us the way to Church every Sunday (Yeh - I know we are going to Hell for it, but it's worth it!)

My dad got the Knight Rider one for my mom. For some reason, the only thing it says is "Where would you like to go today, Deborah?". Then it just beeps from time to time to constantly remind you that you're on a toll road. I can't figure out how to get the berkeleying thing to say "Turn Left", or "Keep Right"! I drove to New York this weekend thinking I don't need my Tom Tom because this was already in the car. I feel stupid now.

I can't answer whether or not that feeling is wrong...but you're not alone. I'm in the same boat.

I like setting my Garmin to give directions in Italian. I can't understand it, but it makes me feel like I'm really traveling, you know?
