TimTim on ya TomTom



Well I never. By the miracles of modern technology it seems that if you have one of these TomTom GPS navigation systems you can have ME telling you where to go! All you need to do is download the zip file below and follow these instructions to install it. Oh joy!

This is brilliant, Tim! I have a Tom Tom and I love to play with the voices. It's too bad I didn't have this last summer - I could have had your voice telling me how to find Fil. Wouldn't that have been whacky virtualdom?

Fantastic. Let me know if it works for you. I was thinking of getting FiL to make one too in his Yuri voice .. or maybe the man from SLIME .. and I considered doing a Geoffrey Letch one! Any requests?

That is awesome! I want a Tom Tom so I can have Tim's voice telling me where to go! I am so buying a Tom Tom...

OMG, he MUST do one in his Yuri voice! That would be so perfect for a GPS. I can just imagine it: "You MUST take motorway in 100 mee-ters".

And the Letch voice, while creepy, would also be a lot of fun to listen to on a drive.

I'm not so hot on the man from SLIME though. That would get too annoying, which is not a quality one looks for in a GPS voice.

The voice I use most often on the Tom Tom is the female Irish voice. I know it's my imagination but I feel like she gets annoyed when I ignore her instructions. I half expect her sometime to bark: "In 50 metres, why don't you go to hell you bloody fool if you're not gonna listen to me."

Mentok - Yes ... FiL told me about your Irish lady. :)

I'll see what I can do about getting Yuri and Letch recorded.

Rachel - I'm glad you like the idea! Perhaps you'd lik to record one too??
