Darth Vader Will Tell You Where to Drive

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

Roundabound.

With cell phones getting GPS systems and software that's starting to approach levels where an in-car unit might be unnecessary, TomTom has enlisted a new celebrity voice that makes me want to buy one of its GPS units.

This time it's Darth Vader, which in my opinion, is the coolest celebrity voice for a GPS to date. Sadly, there's confirmation whether or not James Earl Jones supplied his vocal talents to this or if it's just an impersonator.

At any rate, the video advertisement for the new voice is quite entertaining. Check it out below.

If it's an impersonator, it's good enough.

Not really new, I have had these voices for a while now...
It's fun and all at first, but after a while, nothing beats one of the defaults.

Actually, I now keep my tomtom to mute... but overall, custom voices either porn voices, to homer, to vador... fun for only a short time.

Good thing it's not Obi-Wan's voice.. "Turn off you navigation Computer! Use the Force!"

Turn left! Search your feelings, you know it to be true! It is your destiny. Also, there's construction up ahead.

awesome video, although for a real life application the voice could get annoying after a while.
