Commuter: “Try to locate the Nearest Starbucks.”
Garmin: “Try not! Do or do not! There is no try!”
Commuter: “Okaaaay, DO locate the nearest Starbucks”
Garmin: “Once you start down the caffeinated blend, forever will it dominate your destiny. Comsume you it will!”
Commuter: “Okay, Okay! Just find a Starbucks and I’ll get a decalf.”
Garmin: “A communters strength flows from the blend. Feel it you must.”
Commuter: “Look you!, all I want is a good cup of coffee!”
Garmin: “You will know the good from the bad when you are calm. Caffeine is a dark force. Beware the caffeinated side.”
Commuter: “Just take me somewhere where I can order extras!”
Garmin: “Whipped cream? Heh! Carmel spritz? Heh! A commuter craves not these things!”
Commuter: “I WANT CAFFIENE!”
Marlin: ” NO ! Calm. You must feel that energy within you. Let the GPA Force guide you. Concentrate, goood. Now, look through the windshield. Dutch Brothers you will see.

I just know there’s a joke in there about using “The Force” but I’m not feeling clever enough to make one up just yet

They actually do have Sean Connery and Yoda… They are put out for TomTom, but changing over to mp3 or wav files for your unit wouldn’t be a big deal. I’ve done for mine (Pharos Ostia) with my last PDA/Phone.

Don’t know if you can do this with your unit, but mine takes custom voices. You can find some 3rd party free downloads to be guided by Austin Powers, Kit from Knight Rider, Homer, and a few other random ones. I was REALLY twiddling my thumbs one day and did my own custom prompts for mine so I curse at myself when I start going the wrong way. I’m pretty nasty even when I’m going the right way too though.
I said I was bored.
