PigTones offering Yoda, Terminator and Stewie nav voices
"Left at the next exit you will turn," or so we imagine none other than Jedi Master Yoda telling us as we attempt to pilot our land speeders toward some unknown destination. You can now download Yoda as the voice of your TomTom or Garmin GPS unit courtesy of a company named PigTones and a fee of $12.97. Not a Star Wars fan? Well, you should be (at least of the original trilogy). There's always the Terminator. On second thought, who wants to be told to make a legal U-turn by the governor of California? That leaves Stewie from The Family Guy. He's the megolomaniacal infant that's hell bent on killing his mother, Lois. There are others to choose from too, some raunchier than others. Click here for the full list. Thanks for the tip, yash!

How about an Ollie North voice?
"I have no recollection of you needing to TURN RIGHT onto US-SEVENTY FIVE, Senator."

I imagine you would feel like Luke Skywalker piloting an X-Wing on the Death Star, when your Jedi teacher Obiwan tells you to trust your feelings, and let go of the targeting computer. Or, in this case, Yoda would tell you to let go of your nav computer, and trust your own sense of direction. Which is probably good advice, since people have followed nav computers and driven their cars right into rivers and ditches.

Same, from my experience (Peugeot 407, for one - telling you to go crosscountry (~blocks!), Dukes of Hazard style, losing signal on open terrain with good weather, through parallel roads, you name it!).
Also, you should only need them the first time anywhere, at best.

I can see how those could get really annoying really quick, especially if they don't have many phrase options.

First off, you can download various voices for free all over the net.
Second, those renditions are horrible!!
BTW, voices have been available for TomToms for quite a while, and through their navprogram even!
