Homer Simpson is probably one of the last people we'd ask for directions (unless we need to walk over to Moe's for a night cap) but that isn't stopping TomTom from using his very recognizable voice. The lovable Simpson's dad wll provide instructions in the usual Homer prose, including the usual references to food and general stupidity. The TomTom website has samples of Homer's unique direction-giving style:

 HERE FOR NO 1
 and
HERE FOR NO 2.
I pinched them off their site so people like the Forum Hooligan can down load them ;16


Homer is just one of over 70 different celebrity voices that are available on the TomTom website, and you don't need to buy a special edition nav unit to experience it. Registered users of TomTom devices can purchase Homer's voice online for only $12.95, but you'll have to download TomTom HOME on your computer if you haven't already done so.

We're guessing that there will be plenty of Simpson's fans that'll be more than happy to download Homer to their TomTom, but we're not sure how this will play out for the rest of us. After all, Homerisms are pretty damn funny, but when we hear the same things over and over again, the novelty wears out pretty quickly.

Silly Question.....

Do I have to pay for the updated maps? Or are they a free thing with the purchase of the Tom Tom???

After spending 4 or 5 hundred...I would think that they are just something that you can just update for free.

Don't know, but here the link to thier website http://www.tomtom.com/page/simpsons
