Sort of cool to hear celebrity voices.  They're available choices on the latest Waze update.  

- When the directions begin, Arnold says "come with me if you want to live"

- "Road obstruction - LOOK OUT!"

There are some other voices available on the menu, like Colonel Sanders.

I hear they are making one for motorcycle applications.

As you approach your bike it calls out " GET TO DA CHOPPAH"


as you get off and leave it says " STICK AROUND"

I just installed waze today after reading about this.  I spent 30min trying to figure out how to change it.  turns out,  you need to set it to navigate you somewhere,  then the voice selection was available.

When I got a GPS for my family a few years ago,. I seriously toyed with the idea of getting the Top Gear TomTom.

But we use our phones for navigating.

Yes you can.  Settings, sound, voices.  Pick which one you want.




Some times I am amazed people actually are able to even post to this site.

Wow.  I made it in before someone came in to suck the fun out of this by talking about his time as Gov of California.

Off to change the voice on my app!

I switched to the AHNOLD voice in Waze. It did have a prompt for an accident "Accident reported ahead... GET DOWN!!"

I loaded it up a couple of days ago. I heard the "get down" prompt.

I haven't heard what it does when someone tags a cop yet.

saw an article talking with anuhld about it:

“From the first time I used Waze, I have wanted to lend my voice to it. The Terminator is the perfect machine to guide Wazers to their destinations. Every single day on social media, fans ask me to record my movie lines, so now I get to bring this classic role and my charming Austrian accent into their cars.”

I'd love it to say "it's a cop, you idiot!"  or something like "slow down, there's a cop, you idiot!"

I think I've passed a couple cop tags, and it didn't say anything.

You could install Darth Vader, as well as a bunch of other voices, on your Tom-Tom or Garmin years ago.

I read it only for the promotion of the movie.  After that it expires.



Is that true?

It's set to expire in late July.  After that, you'll probably have to pay for it.

It only reports police on your side.

I probably would pay for it if it has a good mix of voice clips.   Thanks OP!

I just used the terminator voice on my little trip this weekend. It was fun but I can't hear it very well. I sampled a couple of voices but went back to "jane". Just because I can hear it better.

I actually downloaded Waze because my girlfriend got lost trying to get to our new apartment from my job and I turned on the Ahnold voice.

  She was less than amused.

You need to try the creepy Colonial Sanders voice. Sounds like a Pedo.
