Also, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.knightridergps.com/&quot;&gt;here&apos;s&lt;/a&gt; what Knight Industries has been working on for the past 20 years. Seems like they &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KITT&quot;&gt;went backwards&lt;/a&gt; a bit.</description>

		<description>That&apos;s just bizarre. Why would I want LEDs shining back in my face from my GPS unit? And they comment on it&apos;s &apos;clean lines&apos; when if you look at any other &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mio.com/us/gps-navigation-products-c320-overview.htm&quot;&gt;Mio product&lt;/a&gt;, it actually has much less stuff on the face of it. 

Normally I love this kind of thing, but this one just doesn&apos;t do it for me.</description>

		<description>Besides, who wants the KITT voice when you could have &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.navtones.com/getnavtones.php&quot;&gt;Mr. T or Gary Busey&lt;/a&gt; (!) lead you around?

		<description>YouTube user &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/user/AskGLaDOS&quot;&gt;AskGLaDOS&lt;/a&gt; does a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkrfy1CWj90&quot;&gt;dead-on&lt;/a&gt; GLaDOS impression... somehow.

It would be great if there were a text-to-speech synthesizer that could mimic that weirdly lilting voice...</description>

Clearly, you are not married.</description>

		<description>What I really want is a GPS voice pack that speaks in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKVuPUY9D-A&quot;&gt;voice of the turrets&lt;/a&gt; (yes, I know it&apos;s the same voice actor).  I love those little guys.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Eddie Izzard too!&lt;/em&gt;

You linked to the wrong place!  Go &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.eddieizzard.com/thingie_things/tomtom/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and click &quot;Listen Here&quot; (yay Flash-breaks-web-nav-model!) to hear examples.   &lt;small&gt;caution: eye-bleeding web design&lt;/small&gt;

Also his phone ring tones make my sides hurt.</description>
