Do Not Buy a Garmin Or TomTom Gps Until You Hear These Voice Options

If you are inspecting buy a Gps principles you need to do your research. There are many devices on the market, some best than others with more bells and whistles than you could imagine. Garmin is the shop leader followed somewhat closely by TomTom.

A few years ago all you could get were basic directions. But now, there are all types of features that make owning a Gps for your car roughly as valuable (and as fun as a cell phone).

After doing a seek of Best Buy and Circuit City sales company though, I discovered that the most requested feature is the quality to convert the voices on the Gps device. By now many people are well-known with the boring factory voice and are looking for options.

Cell phones have ringtones that let people personalize their mobile phones. Many people are looking for ways to do similar things with their Gps device. There are a few clubs who are providing this service.

For instance, http://www.pig-tones.com (which stands for "Politically Incorrect Gps") is the most popular service and one of the only sites that furnish voices for Garmin...although they are also have voices ready for TomTom.

The pig-tones.com voices range from celebrities like Arnold Schwartzenegger and President Bush (at least for a few more months) to Yoda and even God. But they also have some very funny and edgy voices as well that would make your grandmother blush (I'm not even going to to into them here, but you can listen to voice samples on your own at their website, just be just at work).

Another firm is navtones. They have been nearby a itsybitsy while longer and seem to focus generally on B-list celebrity voices. Their voices range from Mr. T to Gary Busey and Burt Reynolds. Not quite the most cutting edge celebrity voices but there are probably some fans of the A-Team that don't mind Mr. T calling them a fool when they make a wrong turn. I'm just not sure that I would welcome Gary Busey barking directions at me in my car or even Mr. T for that matter.

The only two systems that allow you to authentically customize your voices though at this moment are Garmin and TomTom. Pig-tones.com allows you to do both and navtones only does TomTom.

In conclusion, it's leading to know your options for customization before you buy. Not all Gps are created equal...some are a lot more fun.
