Let Morgan Freeman narrate your commute as a GPS navigation voice

Is the idea ofdriving around in circles while a GPS system robotically pesters you to "take a U-turn take a U-turn take a U-turn " more annoying than covertmovie adson your smartphone?

Let the smooth, dulcet tones of actor Morgan Freeman's voice guide your journey instead. You may still have to deal with gridlock, but at least you'll be entertained.

On Monday, Google's free navigation app Waze announced that it had updated its roster of specialty voices in the U.S. to let drivers enlist Freeman as "their new executive copilot."

Voice aside, however, it's not actually the Oscar-winning actor doling out directions for Waze it's U.S. Vice President Trumbull, a character Freeman plays in his upcoming film London Has Fallen.

Every turn, veer and exit you need to make while the GPS navigator is in "English (US) Morgan Freeman" mode will be delivered as though you, the driver, are president of the United States.

You'll also get a handy/obnoxiousreminder on your phone when the film hits theatres on March 4and, according to Waze's blog,Freeman's voice will "guide you the theatre to see his new movie."

Oh.

Under the "settings" tab in Waze's iOS app, Canadian users can only currentlyselect between six different English-language voices two men's, two women's,one called"boy band," and a KFC-sponsored Colonel Sanders voice.

Speak Portugeuse?"Tigre Tony" is also available to Canadiansas part of a Kellog's promotion but, sadly for our country'sFreeman fans,Waze'sLondon Has Fallenvoice is exclusive to theU.S.

There are other ways to make the actornarrate your road-tripShawshank Redemption-style, though. GarminGPShas been offering a "Morgan Freeman"option for 1.99as part of its Celebrity Voicespackage since 2013, and while that particular voiceis only animpression, dozens of celebrities have produced their own realGPS tracks over the past decade.

Everyone from Arnold Schwarzennegerto Spongebob Squarepants can say they've done GPS voice-over work,and some can still be called upon to navigate your drive,depending on which systemyou use.

VoiceSkins, which produces"licensed real celebrity GPS voices for TomTom," addedSnoop Doggto its roster alongsideDan Castellaneta as both Homer Simpson and Mr. Burns in 2009. Since then, dozens of famous voices have been made available toTomTomusers, includingBurt Reynolds,Kim Cattrall, Bugs Bunny,Mr. T and Darth Vader.

Elsewhere online, you can find more obscure voices most of them impressions on sites like PIG Tones (Politically incorrect GPS),which boasts characters like Beavis & Buttheadfor several different navigation systems.

Not into celebrities or celebrity impressions? You can also record your own voice to be used in a GPS navigator using Garmin's Voice Studio thoughif the way most people react when they hear themselves in a voicemail is any indication, you might not want to.
