The latest celebrity voice available for download to a TomTom portable GPS device is that of the patriarch of the long-running The Simpsons television show, Homer. Commemorating the animated program’s 20th anniversary, Homer can bring some levity to navigation, with his signature sayings, wit, and laughter.
More than just speaking the directions, Homer will interject his own food-driven commentary. For example, “Take the third right. We might find an ice cream truck! Mmm…ice cream.”
$12.95 for the voice (in addition to the TomTom, of course).
I’d hate to strangle a TomTom.
Not that Homer doesn’t irritate me enough WITHOUT watching the Simpsons…but it would make that noise as I drove past a turn and I’d drag it out and beat it on the pavement.
I want a TomTom just so I can make it talk to me in Eddie Izzard’s voice.
I believe it’s enough to hear my wife’s voice as I drive.
