Its been a year since GPS Creative released their concept of celebrity and novelty voice Garmin devices. Since starting in March 2009 with one voice of Dowwe Dolla (Margit Rodenbeck Meyer), they have recorded some of the best known South African celebs.

From Kurt Darren’s ‘loslappie draai links’ to Jack Parow’s Cooler as ekke quips, these are guaranteed to make your trips lots of fun with their unique personalities and sayings.

“Most recently, we’ve recorded Vanessa Haywood, lead actress in the smash hit District 9 as well as South Africa’s favourite American weatherman, Derek van Dam.”

Some of the celebs captured forever into Garmin navigation include Minki van der Westhuizen, Nataniel, Casper de Vries, Kurt Darren, Os du Randt, Riaan Cruywagen, Pieter Koen, Brumilda van Rensburg, Michael Naicker (Kevin Perkins) and Shaleen Surtie Richards.

Each of the available products has proper descriptions with some voice samples that a client can listen to before purchasing a product. The downloads cost anything between R49,95 to R149,95 depending on the product you choose.

The demand to incorporate more English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho voices also have arisen since we started with the company and in 2010 the choices for the customer will increase even more.
