So, $200 bucks and a lot of buyer's remorse later, I bought a Garmin GPS Navigational System for my car. I am pants at directions and am always sent on some errand in the D.

This thing? IS. THE. SHIT.

It basically does everything except cut my meat and wipe my arse for me. Not surprisingly enough, I am charmed by the English accented voice that guides my way :P

It's a pity you can't program voices, though. Alan Rickman. Patrick Stewart. Trent Reznor. Mikhail Baryshnikov. *G*

Whether you own a GPS or not, who would you choose to voice the directions? Who would you not choose? Can be fictional or non-fictional.

Real people: Alan Rickman, Hugh Laurie, Eddie Izzard, David Tennant, Ewan McGregor, Tim Gunn

Fictional: Rupert Giles, Tosh! (though I suppose Naoko Mori would do, lol)

John Barrowman (the most innuendo laced directions ever), Rickman, Tennant, Jim Dale, Judy Dench, Hugh Laurie as House so when I turned the wrong way it would insult me.

If you have a TomTom, you *can* have Eddie Izzard talking to you -- that's reason I chose a TomTom over the Garmin. ;-)

I would pay a lot of money to have either John Barrowman or Gareth David-Lloyd reading me directions, though. Or David Nykl, with the Czech accent he uses when he plays Zelenka....

Gareth David-Lloyd is also a good choice. Of course for me, it's a moot point since I don't drive.

the eddie izzard one just isn't clear enough. I have Tom Tom also and currently Darth Vader is my direction giver, lol.
