Homer Simpson Can Be Your Co-Pilot

Concord-Based TomTom Ads Voice Option To Driving Directions

CONCORD, Mass. (WBZ) ― Would you trust directions from Homer Simpson?

The makers of the TomTom GPS navigation devices think you might.

The Concord, Mass. based company reached a deal with Twentieth Century Fox allowing the users of the portable systems to download Homer's voice.
Instead of the usual "Turn right" that you might hear from a GPS device, TomTom users can hear Homer add, "We might find an ice cream truck."

You can hear more of Homer's driving encouragement on the TomTom web site.
