Voice skins for Tomtom GPS http://www.voiceskins.com

What a cool idea! I’m so sick of the voice on my GPS I’ve set it to just beep now

I really like the idea of the Ozzy Osbourne VoiceSkin, I’m just worried I’d miss a turning by the time he got it out

voice skins - a new twist to gps use ?

Ebbo,

.. a good link, I wonder if others realise how voice skins work.

I guess that many voice over people and mimics shall make a mint from this, just like the answerphone a few years back or current day use with mobile phone ring tones.

The Bart Simpson voice skin will be very popular and a missed turning prompt will be .. Doh!.

How about regional dialect - it boggles.

Then again, there's a downside.. should you be brave and get the nagging wife voice skin which gives a stern prompt such as ' I SAID TURN ... '

TomTom are releasing their own "funny voices" shortly as part of their TomTom Plus programme. See www.tomtom.com.

I agree - excellent idea. I try the American ones occasionally and always laugh at "at the "rotary" take the 2nd exit".
