 We nearly forgot to add this bit of news, but TomTom have added a cool new celeb voice to their expanding range and its none other than Homer Simpson. As Homer already knows how to navigate to the Kwik-E Mart in Springfield, he can now help you find your way to your favourite supermarket, doughnut store or burger bar in the UK or Ireland.
TomTom has joined forces with Locutio Voice Technologies and Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising (Fox L&M), to bring the original voice (Dan Castellaneta) of Homer Simpson to TomTom sat nav devices for the very first time.
On the road, Homer’s humorous, encouraging and sometimes unusual advice will guarantee that you will not only reach their destination on time, but have a lot of fun along the way. With an insatiable appetite as his motivation, Homer adds his own special words of wisdom for TomTom users, such as, “Take the third right. We might find an ice cream truck! Mmm…ice cream.” With Homer’s unpredictable and comical commands leading the way, drivers are guaranteed an unforgettable journey.
Damian Woodward, sales and marketing manager, TomTom UK & Ireland, said, “Celebrity voices are the most popular downloads that we offer our customers to enable them to personalise their driving experience. With Homer Simpson’s voice helping them to navigate during their trip, TomTom users will not only travel safely and with less stress, but they will also be highly entertained along the way.”
”Homer Simpson has one of the most identifiable voices in entertainment history,” said Elie Dekel, Fox Executive Vice President Licensing and Merchandising. “We have joined forces with TomTom to help celebrate THE SIMPSONS historic 20th anniversary and will help provide a little levity for those long summer road trips ahead.”
Homer’s voice is available for download immediately for £7.95 (€9.95 in Ireland).

Current TomTom users can simply log into their TomTom HOME account to purchase the voice online.
