The Force is strong with GPS

Damnit, why can't I get this on my maps application!

The nerd in me finds this amusing, and disappointing all at the same time.

TomTom, a company that makes global-positioning devices, recently signed a licensing deal with Lucasfilm to use three "Star Wars" character voices (Han Solo will be the fourth in August) in an effort to get drivers to their destination in the safest and nerdiest way possible.

A friend of mine has this on his GPS in his car. When he moved down here from NY, he asked me to come drive one of his cars back for him, and didn't tell me about the damned thing.

So, I get in the car and start driving, and suddenly Darth fucking Vader's telling me to "Turn right, and prepare to enter the motorway!" at max volume (because he always has the stereo cranked-- I hadn't put any music on yet).

I damned near wrecked the car. :p

After the initial WTFitude, I thought it was pretty fucking cool.
