New GPS

This is truly tasteless but funny. Press pause and let the it load completely otherwise it gets slow and choppy.

This isn't too far off from what is available. A few years ago, I was given the opportunity to purchase a new voice for my TomTom GPS. For $20, I could hear John Cleese (Yes, the real John Cleese) criticize my driving (in a Monty Python kind of way). Great idea. Unfortunately, the female voice can remind some of us, too much of our wives telling us what to do.

Actually, I ended up settling on the Ausie Male voice. He sounds like someone I know at my church. Still, it would be fun to have John Cleese taunting me occasionally.
