Master Yoda Will Guide You Where to Go With GPS

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

Drive this way, you must, if a Jedi, you want to be.

Tired of the same old monotone voice inside your GPS telling you where to go? Maybe it's time to take some direction from Master Yoda -- if you have a TomTom GPS.

Just imaging Yoda telling you, "After 700 hundred yards hmm, keep to the right then take a sharp left. Control, control, if a Jedi you wish to be."

The Yoda voice also comes with ghostly encouragement from Obi-Wan Ben Kenobi, which is taken from the original films and embedded into the navigation commentary. John Williams’ ‘Yoda’s Theme’ music is also interwoven with certain commands, giving it something other navigation systems don't have.

Yoda’s voice is available for download now for $12.95 from TomTom.

Here's the video with Darth Vader just to represent the dark side:

I have had that with my tomtom for a long long time, with bush, homer, Dr.Evil, Austin Powers, James Bond...

It isn't new but it's a fun thing to play around with for about 1 trip... In all honesty, the default voices are far better as custom voices get real annoying real fast.

The best voice in a GPS is MUTE.

I usually have my Zune HD hooked up so I don't even notice the GPS voice anymore...

and I imagine most people listen to their radio/music player while driving rather than their GPS....

these custom GPS voices are bsolutely a waste of money IMO....

Be sure to switch back to the default voice when a chick gets in your car.

Why? If a chick can't laugh at my dorky humor, then she's gonna get booted out of my car, GTA IV style.

I've had these voices for a couple years too. I imagine these are the official voices. While the others were done by people impersonating the voices in their homes.

Those videos were freaking awesome. LOL

I don't have a Tom Tom, let alone a GPS. But the videos themselves were worth it all. ;)

The last road trip I was on, I switched the voice to German female and cranked the volume way up. There's just something awesome about getting yelled at by a German woman (and it freaks the hell out of you at 3am).

Its good as a marketing video... not as an actual GPS voice... I think something went wrong in the transition.

I don't usually make such comments, but didn't you report the Dark Vader one like 3 months ago? Try to not repeat yourself, you must.

If I get a GPS, it'll be a TomTom just because of the voices they have. Even if I don't use them, for the little money it costs, the novelty of it is worth the few bucks.

Verb the object, the subject is.

Who really wants terrible grammar guiding them through busy city streets?

Yoda would be hilarious, but it'd get old fast, I'll stick with the cold hard logic of Vader.

If it was free or 1$ then I would download it. Why? Because it's fun for one trip then it gets annoying.
