Anybody got a Garmin GPS?

OK, I just got my Garmin nuvi (it sooo cute) and I found out that there's a free (FREE) app to let you record your own voice directions. And I was thinking that with all the hours and hours of podcasting that there's gotta be some great Sigler voices that we could clip and put together... Promoting the FDO and furthering his goal of world domination (aren't we all becoming sheep to our GPS devices?)

Could be a tedious project, but oh how fun when we are done. Any objections FDO or A? Of course the files would be made available for you to post on the site or however you wanted to distribute.

Wonder if I'll have to make a YA version and a full-on explicit version? Cousin Frankie giving directions would Rock (except when my mother is in the car).

 I like this idea, I like it a lot. Mostly because Tom Tom keep trying to sell me Homer sodding Simpson as an extra voice for my SatNav. The first thing that sprung to my mind when you suggested this was names. Charachter names. It could be so amazingly bad ass.

Including The Rookie and some other gems... Now I just need some time to put this together. It will NOT be a young adult version... so if you're easily offended, well you know how it goes.

...as my Garmin voice right now, but I would drop him like a hot potato for a version with the FDO's voice.  I can just hear it now...

"...take the next left, bitches!"

"...roundabout ahead. How do they work?!?!?"

Did you have to pay for it?

I didn't know you could get voices for satnav's. Wow, I gotta get my nose out of a book more. I know that many of you may not know who this is...but one of my coworkers has a Dale Earnhardt Jr. (yes, the Nascar driver) satnav, and yes, it's him giving directions. When she told me that, I couldn't help but ask her...."does it only tell you to turn left?"

You to record your own. but garmin has the voice Studio (free) and you just record the stuff. I'm going to keep working on this. Will let you all know how it goes.

 Pretty sure that my Tom Tom One doesn't allow me to do that. I can get other voice packages for it though, for a price. I just can't make them. Never tried to use one that wasn't pre-installed though how hard can it be?

Back in the day your could replace the original sound files of the fitted SD card. Now they use TomTom Home PC app to get voices onto their devices. Some of these voices are free and have been submitted by users. #justathought
