To the closest Starbucks you wish to go? Let Yoda be your master. According to the LA Times this week Garmin, maker of the popular line of personal navigation devices, adds the Jedi master and Darth Vader to its voice lineup.
The voices of Yoda and Darth Vader are available for download on Garmin's website, and will cost users $12.99 apiece. Yoda delivers his directions in his own unique grammatical style, saying things like, "Proceed to the highlighted route, your destiny, it is" and "Right you should turn, then sharp left . . . control, control, if a Jedi you wish to be."
When Yoda's froggy voice starts getting on your nerves, you can download Darth Vader's low, half-robot voice with just a hint of an English accent. He'll give you directions with a dose of evil attitude. "Proceed as indicated," he says. "Don't make me destroy you." And "You have reached your destination. Impressive. Most impressive…."
