Arnold Schwarzenegger voices Waze directions so you’ll always be back


Arnold Schwarzenegger voices Waze directions so you’ll always be back

Voice-guided navigation is useful, but sometimes the narrator is a bit too calm when you’re trying to reach a destination in a hurry, or frustrated sitting in traffic.

Waze is looking to add that sense of urgency to your driving by providing voice navigation themed to the tune of the upcoming Terminator Genysis move.

To sweeten the deal, it’s the Governator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, doing the talking. Some of the choice phrases include:

  • “I know where you’re going, and I will get you there… trust me”
  • “You have reached your destination… hasta la vista, baby!”
  • “Mission accomplished. It has to end here… I’ll be back!”

The voice commands are free to download; Waze users can apply them them by clicking Settings>Sound>Voice Language>Terminator Genysis.
