Examples:
1. "Hmm turn to the right now.................... you must not."
2. When u missed a turn, it'll go.. "The force is not strong with this one.."
3. When there's a police ambush/roadblock ahead.. "I sense grave danger up ahead.."
Hi Futra,
The celebrity voice prompts don't quite work that way.
Hilarious as it may sound to you, the developers ensure that turn prompts are correctly announced, e.g. "In 300 meters, turn right", although in Yoda's nefarious accent. When you drive with a GPSr, you rely on voice prompts for guidance more than the GPSr's map for obvious road safety reasons.
Only in non-critical situations, like satellite reception being lost, unit power loss, battery low, recalculating, going the wrong way or upon reaching your destination that you are rewarded with the humorous announcements.
POI alerts like "police roadblock" are never part of the VPM files - they are basically MP3 or WAV files embedded in the custom GPI files. If you know how to tinker with Custom GPI files, it's possible to swap the standard "police road block" prompt with one of Yoda's voice clips you can download from the various movie audio clip sites.
