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....

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.
 
I don't know about having my GPS use those voices but the ads where epic!!! lol I almost didn't watch them... I am glad I did LOL made my morning.
 
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?
