Where can I purchase a celebrity sat nav cd for my MB 320 command system. Im fed up with the up tight german lady with her broken english "you vill now turn right" Im not even sure you can purchase such a CD for the command system but if you could I would want Peter Kayes wonderfull Max & Paddy " Can u here me now" "Turn right u fool!"
I can see this becomming as big as mobile ringtones as sat nav ownership goes up and prices come down
Who would yopur favourite announcer be?

I think it is only Tom-Tom systems that can have the vioces changed, but am very willing to be corrected.

You can sample the voices of John Cleese on theTom-Tom site

Try the samples
I have to listen to sons download.
e.g. as it says on the sampler "Bear right and Beaver left"
or something like "You have arrived at your destination. You do not expect me to carry your bags"

Who would your favourite announcer be?
Can't remember his name (did he have one), but one of the Harry Enfield characters.
"You don't want to turn left like that, you want to do turn left like this"
"Now I don't believe you wanted to do that"

An excellent suggestion. Too much like my neighbour though!
I always wanted Bianca from Eastenders as an alternative voice for some strange reason...

Good call DD, on a similar theme how about Kevin the teenager?
"It's soooooooo unfair, you need to turn left here"
" You have arrived at you destination, but I'm still not going to tidy my room"
Other random thoughts for a Friday afternoon:-

1940s BBC wireless announcer. Or HM the Queen from a similar period when she used to speak properly. ('Princess Margaret-Rose and I...)

For me, it would have to be Stephen Fry as Jeeves, e.g.,
"Should Sir desire to take the automobile in a sinistral direction at the proximal opportunity, I would hint that he might skillfully avoid a particularly onerous congestive gathering of vehicular traffic, and that by doing so, our present celerity may be maintained."

Barbara Windsor would have some appeal to men of a certain age.

Not strictly a celebrity, but having the bird in the dashboard speaking French or Swedish instead makes the journey more interesting, even though I haven't a clue what she's on about...

Going back to Max and Paddy: if you ignored the announcement you could programme it to say "how dare you".
Sorry.

It must be Maggie.

Certainly not
