Mister T
Formerly a jewellery-sporting, aeroplane-shirking, fool-pitying giant of 80s TV and recently an advocate of nuts on Snickers adverts, it was inevitable that cult hero Mister T would be asked to deploy his unique talents on sat nav.
The star of the original A Team series, replaced by cage fighter 'Rampage' Jackson in the new film, may be more famous for his brawn than his brains but any driver with the courage to avoid his 'jibba jabba' would be a fool indeed.
John Cleese
Basil Fawlty may not seem like the ideal companion to a driver lost in an unfamiliar city or trying to suppress road rage in a traffic jam.
Nonetheless John Cleese fans have made his sat nav voice-over – spoken in the voice of his most famous character – one of Tom Tom's most popular downloads.
Darth Vader
Geeks across the world have made the Star Wars character's voice one of Tom Tom's bestselling voice-over packs, with a variety of other characters from the films also available.
Real Jedis would be unlikely to have to ask for directions, but thanks to the accessory drivers can navigate their vehicle through traffic accompanied by sound effects of light sabres and TIE fighters.
Instructions include: 'Bear left, to the dark side. Then in 200 yards you have reached your destination. The Force is with you, but you are not a Jedi yet.'
Dennis Hopper
The actor, best known for his role in Easy Rider, is perhaps an obvious choice for a driving accessory and has recorded his instructions in the style of the 60s film.
His lines include: 'At the end of the road, take the ferry. Save the tyres. Wow, far out' and 'Man, you're going in the wrong direction. Come on man, turn around.'
Kim Catrall
Drivers who want a little light sexual innuendo to entertain them while on their journey need look no further than the Kim Catrall voice-over pack.
The Sex and the City actress speaks in the style of her character, Samantha, and has become one of the biggest selling celebrity sat nav voices.
Funny Voices For Garmin Gps
Eddie Izzard
The comedian has shown an aptitude for travelling great distances on foot, running 43 marathons in 51 days, but for those who would rather travel by car he is also available as a sat nav download.
His directions include jokes such as 'For God's sake turn left', 'Bear left, monkey right' and 'You turn ahead, I'll stay here'.
Billy Connolly
Thanks to the miracle of satnavs, fans of the Scottish comedian can receive helpful instructions such as: 'Turn around when possible. It is advisable to turn your entire car around. Do not just turn around inside the car.'
Speaking about his immortalisation in the format, he said: 'You’ll take the high road and I’ll take the low road, and I’ll be in Scotland afore ye with my wee canny sat nav'.

Burt Reynolds
The American film star and sex symbol has proved his enduring appeal by becoming another of the bestselling celebrities to turn their hand to navigation.
In his role as The Bandit in Smokey and the Bandit Reynolds is remembered for his part in thrilling car chase scenes, but advocates less reckless behaviour in his role as a sat nav voice.

Victor Meldrew
Britain's grumpiest old man is another famous character available as a back seat driver for navigationally challenged motorists.
The voice, performed by an impersonator, will hopefully enable drivers to find their way home avoiding the kind of catastrophes that the unfortunate character is subjected to on a frequent basis.
