Tom Tom introduced an optional Homer Simpson voice, which gives you turn-by-turn directions on your portable TomTom GPS device, for a download fee of $12.95.“With the original Homer at your side, even the shortest drive will transform into a journey to remember,” the company says.
It’s a fun idea on the surface, but with occasional quips like, “We might find an ice cream truck! Mmm … ice cream,” or a crazy laugh or “woo-hoo!” throughout your trip, the voice might actually end up being maddening to some consumers, especially on a long drive.
