Thinking About Buying A Gps

GPS could never find our old house because the street was divided, and it would always say to go to the wrong part of it. But it can find us here.

With [url="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001VEJEGK?ie=UTF8&tag=amberdine-20&link_code=as3&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=B001VEJEGK"]the TomTom XL 340s GPS[/url] you can purchase/download celebrity voices, like Mr. T or John Cleese to tell you directions. I do kinda hope Mr. T scolds people when they make a wrong turn![/quote]
That is awesome. Makes me want to get that just for the Mr T voice. Too bad I don't have a car.

TOS or the later shows when they use Nurse Chapel as the computer voice?

Any of the above. Even HAL would be better than the voice you get on voicemails or elevators.

"I'm sorry Dave. I can't let you make that turn."

Garmin does have voices that you can download, but they're all computer voices last time I checked.

I'll have to check that out. I saw a Bill Cosby sketch where he has a GPS in his car. He eventually figured out it was a recording of his wife giving him directions.
