Snoop Dogg: the GPS industry's secret weapon against Google

You know what TomTom has that Google Maps Navigation doesn't? Snoop. D. O. Double G. Voice Skins, the same company that brought Homer Simpson to the world of turn-by-turn, paid tha cost to hire da boss himself, which is now available for $12.95 and compatible with all TomTom devices. The Doggfather telling us how to get to Taco Bell? Let's face it, sharp lefts really are so fly. Crank up the bass, videos are after the break.

[Thanks, Brandon]

@NikAmi

Probably the most clever joke out of all these cheesy one lines here, so thank you for that laugh. You get my one and only up vote.

[allenade Posted Dec 1st 2009 8:59PM]

you know who I';d rather have? Morgan Freeman. Who the hell wants snoop dog. LAME! Morgan Freeman has a better voice, recognizable and the ultimate narration. TomTom is dumdum!

[xconan Posted Dec 1st 2009 9:49PM]

@allenade
James Earl Jones would make a better candidate... or Katherine McPhee

[michaspi Posted Dec 2nd 2009 12:44AM]

@allenade
If you mute the speaker on your device, you can have Gordon Freeman guiding you.

[harbingerofdoom Posted Dec 1st 2009 9:12PM]

id be much more interested in having Ozzy... not for the directions mind you, i dont use a gps... but just for the comical effect of knowing thousands of people are sitting there looking at their gps unit saying "what the hell did he say??"

[Eternity Posted Dec 2nd 2009 9:22AM]

@harbingerofdoom
What do you mean wtf did I say? I'm the bloody prince of darkness! Now move to the fuckin right!

[jareth86 Posted Dec 1st 2009 9:38PM]

Sean Connery or no deal. David Bowie or Dana Snyder will also do.

[manifest3r Posted Dec 1st 2009 9:38PM]

@NAME Please take a propah left to reach your destination. Toodaloo!

Please...

[Tristan88888888 Posted Dec 1st 2009 9:39PM]

lol doesnt get much better than that.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 1st 2009 9:43PM]

i would love a shawn connery one!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 1st 2009 9:44PM]

Or a chris tucker one " I KNOW THIS MAN!"

[Dr Yusuf AlKindi Posted Dec 1st 2009 9:52PM]

Sell short on Tom Tom stock.

[John Doe Posted Dec 1st 2009 9:55PM]

Never mind that I turn off voice nav. Its usually annoying as heck and by and large I'm paying attention to where I'm going enough that I'm not going to miss my turn. I don't work for Northwest Airlines after all.

PS- If you twisted my arm as to what voice I would like to have.....The dude from Zero Punctuation.

[Abe Posted Dec 1st 2009 10:01PM]

Snoop Dog? I lol'ed.

[poematik14 Posted Dec 1st 2009 10:03PM]

I would like to have Lil Jon one...

Turn left at the next lightt YEAHUUUHHHH
merge right OOKKKKKKKKKK

[lie07 Posted Dec 1st 2009 10:04PM]

taht is fking sweet

[stab244 Posted Dec 1st 2009 10:18PM]

I would totally get this if I had a TomTom.

[TendoMan Posted Dec 1st 2009 10:30PM]

[Edobe Posted Dec 1st 2009 11:00PM]

@TendoMan
I see what you did there.

[Finalcutnerd Posted Dec 1st 2009 10:42PM]

The voice skin sounded ridiculous at first but it's actually hilarious.

[Ty Posted Dec 1st 2009 10:44PM]

Terrible

[Jive Turkey Posted Dec 1st 2009 10:51PM]

If they got Peter Cullen's (Optimus Prime) voice I might buy it

[ThomasBags Posted Dec 1st 2009 11:07PM]

I'll just stick with my Arnie GPS voice thank you very much

[Lectronsect Posted Dec 1st 2009 11:13PM]

Using this thing to get directions to church would be just plain wrong.

[Hotrod Posted Dec 1st 2009 11:35PM]

I want James Earl Jones as Darth Vader. He'd probably blow my speakers though, as he was born with 2x12" subs in his stomach.

[bhawke01 Posted Dec 2nd 2009 12:40AM]

well at least you will be able to get through Compton OK.....

[maddog101 Posted Dec 2nd 2009 12:42AM]

They should do one with Mr. T's voice lol

[onlysublime Posted Dec 2nd 2009 12:49AM]

@maddog101 LOL! I pity the fool!

[onlysublime Posted Dec 2nd 2009 12:49AM]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! i haven't laughed at an article like this in a long time... bowwowowowowowowowo. snoop dooooogggy dooooo....

[jazen Posted Dec 2nd 2009 1:06AM]

No one mentioned Christoper Walken? What's wrong with you people!?

[Henzapper Posted Dec 2nd 2009 1:38AM]

Definition of killer-app (besides the fact that it's not an app). I would've gladly stuck to Google Maps Navigation for all my gps needs, but now there's THIS. I really hope someone makes this work for GMN somehow.

[Dannybuoy Posted Dec 2nd 2009 2:41AM]

1,2,3 and to the 4, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr Dre are at the door, their journey was pretty easy all in all, Tom Tom got them here

[SeanR Posted Dec 2nd 2009 3:05AM]

If he could actually curse while givin me directions.. this would be the shit ..

"Bust a left at the next light nigga!"

[Marsoc1 Posted Dec 2nd 2009 3:12AM]

I would love to have Megan Fox's voice telling me where to go Lol "Camshaft..."

[araymore Posted Dec 2nd 2009 3:27AM]

excellent for when ur lost drunk driving...mmmmmmm....fo shizzle

[ppt123 Posted Dec 2nd 2009 3:44AM]

it will probably lead you to the ghetto

[CBXweb Posted Dec 2nd 2009 4:29AM]

I can imagine driving with this, while I'm crying, and yelling "Shut up Snoop Dogg!"

[thomasseifu Posted Dec 2nd 2009 4:45AM]

Engadget is like a get away from all my hiphop wave!! Please get rid of this Quick!! It's almost Embarrassing!!

[incogneo Posted Dec 2nd 2009 5:19AM]

Loving this!

[Daddy Warbux Posted Dec 2nd 2009 7:02AM]

When they get Samuel L Jackson...then ill buy!!

[DarkGrimoire Posted Dec 2nd 2009 7:14AM]

I can't wait for the day when they put Bobcat Goldthwait's classic voice on one of these.. :D

[blueeyesm Posted Dec 2nd 2009 12:23PM]

"No! I don't want to 'drive-by' the 'Dogg Pound' ! I want to go to the animal shelter!"

[anogee Posted Dec 2nd 2009 12:35PM]

I think a Tiger Woods voice would be cool. Who better to provide driving instructions? It could even warn you when approaching fire hydrants.

[Wwhat Posted Dec 2nd 2009 12:37PM]

@harbingerofdoom
Since they already have bob dylan lined up for GPS I think the 'what the hell did he say' category is covered already :)

[Wwhat Posted Dec 2nd 2009 12:39PM]

Was a reply directed @harbingerofdoom

[daewootech Posted Dec 2nd 2009 1:49PM]

i was previewing those voices for the tom tomm i purchased recently and the homer simpson voice along with the other voices have to be some of the worst and fakest sounding voices ive ever heard, i was really dissapointed especially for PAY add-ons.

[ZeroCorpse Posted Dec 2nd 2009 1:59PM]

People would pay good money to have a Christopher Walken GPS voice.

turn...........Here!

[Pies Posted Dec 3rd 2009 6:38AM]

Can I trust Snoop to remember where I'm going?
