A set of voices for the Waze navigation system with a little bit more personality than your usual default voices. After installing the app, you can install the voice you want to hear and select it.

As a publicity stunt, things don't get much cooler than having a big-name actor give an in-character performance in your car. That's what happening with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is lending his voice to the mobile crowd-sourced traffic and navigation app Waze to promote the new Terminator movie.

But the former governor of California is far from the first big celeb or major fictional character to get into the directions-giving game. In fact, he's not even the first one to do it for Waze—that was comedian Kevin Hart, who provided turn-by-turn commentary for the app in 2013 (to pimp his flick with Ice Cube, Ride Along.)

Using celebrity/character voices in navigation systems goes back almost a decade, and features some of the biggest names in the world. Check out the slideshow for our collection of the greatest and geekiest. Most are still available for purchase (or free), particularly if you have a compatible Garmin or TomTom navigation system (check compatibility before you buy). Joe budden padded room download free.

How To Install Waze Voices
  • 1Darth Vader and Yoda

    No two characters better represent the dreaded Sith and the heroic Jedi than these two. Recorded for TomTom in 2010, they're still available there (both for $12.95), and for Garmin ($9.95 each). Also available: C3PO and Han Solo! (I want to believe that's really Harrison Ford.)
  • 2The Simpsons

    Homer and Marge and Mr. Burns are all available as separate voices on Garmin ($10.99 each) or TomTom ($12.95 each) so that when you miss a destination, you get that highly appropriate 'D'OH!'
  • 3Mr. T

    We seriously pity the fool who doesn't have this excellent voice on their GPS. He's available for $12.95 on TomTom's PLUS Services
  • 4Looney Tunes

    Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam.. legends all. And all legends you can have tell you were to go on a TomTom for $12.95 each. Little bits of the classic Looney Tunes themes makes it all the sweeter to get to Albuquerque, Doc.
  • 5K.I.T.T.

    You might think of actor William Daniels as the guy from Boy Meets World. But for years, he was also a TV doctor, and before that, he was a car. Specifically, the sarcastic voice to the talking vehicle on Knight Rider. Now, he can sarcastically tell you what exit to take (if you've got a TomTom and $12.95).
  • 6Wallace & Gromit

    The greatest Claymation stars of all time (if you don't believe me, go watch The Wrong Trousers) lend their voices to GPS. Well, Wallace does, as Gromit's not much of a talker. They're a bargain on Garmin for $8.99, but still $12.95 at TomTom.
  • 7GlaDOS

    It's not official, but there's a voice out there perfectly mimicking that of GlaDOS, the homicidal AI from the Portal video games. Luckily, this GPS voice, created by a user on Reddit, apparently doesn't make you drive off a bridge like the real one. This is a free download for Garmin and TomTom units.. if you can find a working link. Oh, I found one, but it'll cost you $9.97.
  • 8Arnold—The Govenator

    Arnold's already on your GPS? Sort of. There's a huge collection of NSFW, non-politically correct, celeb and character parody voices for GPS to be found at Pig Tones. Arnold is just one of them. Typical voices include Pagoda (a Yoda pastiche), Capt. Jack, a filthy-mouthed drill sergeant, Beavis & Butthead, Sean Connery, Gollum, Obama, Dubya, and yes, GlaDOS. Also: Jesus with appropriately heavenly echo. Every voice they have is $9.97 for TomTom or Garmin units.

We cannot all be blessed with a smooth, majestic voice like actor Morgan Freeman, but now you can at least have him give you driving directions. Dopdf download for windows 10. Just fire up the Waze mapping app (which is owned by Google these days) and fiddle around with the settings, then you'll be off to the grocery store with Freeman's gentle guidance.

This is, unfortunately, not a permanent option. The version of Morgan Freeman in the Waze app is a promotional tie-in for Freeman's upcoming filmLondon Has Fallen, the sequel to 2013's Olympus Has Fallen. In the movie (and the app) Freeman plays US Vice President Trumbull. Yes, this is more or less an ad, but at least it's a clever one.

Custom Waze Voices

You'll get some generic directions read in Freeman's voice, but many of the lines in the app are a read in the style of a VP talking to the president. Well, you are sort of president of the car while driving. Still, you'll probably do what the VP says because he sounds so damn sure of himself.

According to Riskie, Death Row Records C.E.O Marion 'Suge' Knight introduced Riskie to Tupac on the set of the California Love (Remix) video shoot in Compton, California. 2pac makaveli album download.

Waze has a history of adding quirky voice options to the app. Right now you can get Freeman, but also a boy band and Colonel Sanders, among others. Both Morgan Freeman and Colonel Sanders are listed as sponsored by London Has Fallen and KFC, respectively. To change the voice navigation mode, open the settings and go to sound, then navigation guidance. If you select Freeman's voice, the app will make sure to tell you London Has Fallen opens on March 4. Waze is available on iOS and Android.
