Latest celebrity voice for TomTom – Kim Cattrall

TomTom were the first GPS manufacturer to offer the option to change the robotic voice which barks instructions from the speakers of your navigation device. TomTom did not just provide any old voice overs, however, they gave subscribers the chance to have a celebrity tell them where to go. These voice overs range from John Cleese, Burt Reynolds, and Dennis Hopper right up to the infamous Mr. T. Users simply choose which voice they would like to give them directions, then download the file from TomTom’s website.

Now Navtones, who produce these voice overs for TomTom, have introduced another star to the party – Sex and the City stunner Kim Cattrall, better known as her character Samantha Jones. Ms. Cattrall will be offering navigation instructions in her breathy voice to TomTom navigation device owners, and adding “some spice to the ride, allowing drivers a fun and unforgettable journey,” according to TomTom.

Of course we couldn’t rely on Samantha Jones to only give out traditional voice instructions, and true to form, the New York actress offers further lines throughout your journey in the style of her sultry character. She will offer you advice; “This is the city, darling. Anything goes” or scold you when you go the wrong way; “Don’t touch my Manolos!”.

“Celebrity voice downloads are one of the many features TomTom offers to our customers to personalize their driving experience. With Kim Cattrall’s voice helping them to navigate their trip, TomTom customers will not only travel safely and with less stress but will also be amused along the way.” Jocelyn Vigreux, president of TomTom

If this sounds better to you than the average GPS instructions, then visit the TomTom website today and purchase the feature for your GPS system. The website offers some audio samples, so you can try a few celebrities on for size and see which one fits your TomTom best.
