Roadside Navigator

Gone are the days of riding with Steven Hawking or the lady from the Weakest Link as your default GPS roadside navigator. The navigation system manufacturers of today have stepped up their game to provide a greater variety of recognizable characters to help guide you on your road to who knows where.

Garmin has added a Nickelodeon bundle which features Dora the Explorer and Spongebob Squarepants. TomTom has taken the lead in a variety of voices including the Nickelodeon cast but also adding Snoop Dog, Homer Simpson, KITT, Pepe Le Pew,
Yosemite Sam and a whole lot more. But the creme of the crop in variety for both Garmin and TomTom is Navetones.com. Navetones voices extend from Flavor Flav and Mr.T to Burt Reynolds and Gary Busey. It also provides additional themed voices such as Bodie for the big wave loving surfer, Bubba the old school cowboy, and what they claim to be the sexiest navigator of all time Candee.

With all these choices and a resurgence of pop culture familiarity I can't help but to think who I might like to be my navigator. Macho Man Randy Savage? Christopher Walken? Van Damn? Dr. Emmett Brown? If I had those options I think they might sound like this
 
Macho Man 

 
Dr. Emmett Brown
