Find Your Way Through the Galaxy with the Garmin Star Wars Voices

— July 22, 2011 — Art & Design
Star Wars fans, if you there’s one thing you must get to add to your stellar collection then it has to be the Garmin Star Wars Voices for your car.

Those of you who drive with a GPS system on are probably sick of the monotonous robotic voice that gives you the directions. Ditch it and install the Garmin Star Wars Voices instead. What you’ll get out of this is Darth Vader or Yoda (depending on purchase) helping you navigate the roads. The best part is that the voices are accompanied by Star Wars music as well just to add that extra bit of entertainment. Of course, this only works with Garmin’s systems which you can easily download the files into. Having seen this now, I wonder how funny it’d be if they made one featuring Chewbacca -- you’d probably never get anywhere though.
Trend Themes
1. Sci-fi GPS Services - There is an opportunity for companies to offer GPS services with iconic sci-fi character voices and themes to add an element of entertainment to the user experience.
2. Personalized Navigation Systems - Companies can innovate their navigation systems by offering users the ability to select personalized themes and voices for their GPS.
3. Fandom Integration in Tech Products - Tech companies can tap into the fandom culture by incorporating popular characters and themes in their products, opening up new consumer markets.
Industry Implications
1. GPS Systems - GPS system manufacturers can differentiate themselves from their competitors by offering iconic character voices and personalized themes to increase consumer interest and engagement.
2. Entertainment Services - Entertainment companies can partner with GPS manufacturers to offer character voice and theme packs that align with their brand, generating new revenue streams.
3. Automotive Industry - Car manufacturers can partner with GPS providers to offer customized themes featuring their branding and iconic characters to enhance the driving experience and set themselves apart from competitors.
