| #1 Posted on 20.6.08 1838.45 Reposted on: 20.6.15 1839.29 | Yes, that's right, I said KNIGHT RIDER GPS. And none of that Val Kilmer crap, neither. This unit has the voice of William f'n Daniels!
Underneath the hood it's basically the same Mio kit as you'd expect, only it boots up by saying "Hello Michael, where do you want to go today?" uses a cartoon Trans-Am to represent your car, and features dual LED scanner lights on each side.

I was trying to think of other cool scifi vehicles, but all I could come up with was the TARDIS. I can't imagine a GPS that only says "VWORP VWORP" would be terribly useful.
Also, FYI, you can select from a list of prerecorded names for the KR unit. I didn't think it was possible to want it any more than I already did. | emma

I see you've decided to take your OWN route. Sure. Why am I even here?"

It's not a GPS, but I think this will work equally well as girl repellant.
