TomTom Voices Ozzy Osbourne: How to Download It to Your GPS
Caution: TomTom Voices Ozzy Osbourne Uses Colorful Language
First of all, if you’re going to have your kids in the car while you’re driving, be forewarned that some versions of the Ozzy Osbourne voice you can download to your TomTom GPS unit contain the foul language the aging rock star is famous for. Ozzy drops the “F bomb” nearly every time he impatiently tells you to turn. That’s right, this isn’t a PG13 application, so you might want to turn it off when Grandma is in the car or be prepared to do a lot of fake coughing to try to drown him out. Of course, with his accent, the curse words don’t exactly pack the same profound punch that they would if someone more articulate was speaking them. But, we’ll also provide a censored version below. By the way, if you’re in the market for a GPS for your vehicle, we’ve got a veritable treasure trove of unbiased, straight-to-the-point reviews of the best and most popular models. For example, take a look at TomTom GO 630, one of their top-selling and relatively inexpensive GPS units.
