Instead of listening to a generic voice, you can liven up your trip by making your TomTom GPS device sound like Mr. T, Darth Vader or even Homer Simpson. All you need is the data cable that came with your TomTom device. Once you save the voice files into the TomTom, you can select a celebrity voice from the list of voices in the device.
