A Real Talking Knight Rider (The TV Show) Voiced GPS

GPS — 08 July 2008

Mio is set to launch the Knight Rider GPS. In case your second guessing this post and pontificating about what marketing ploys Mio employed – ok, ok than your half right. The Knight Rider GPS will include all the normal GPS qualities, including a 4.3-inch touch screen, turn-by-turn navigation, etc. What’s really cool, though, is that the voice navigation is K.I.T.T. from the tv show Knight Rider. Mio’s also been grateful enough to include voice synced LEDs on either side of the screen and a voice warning system about speeding (i.e. too much turbo Micheal). All we need is a sprinkle of ‘The Hoff’ and a leather jacket to complete our flash back.

Available later this quarter for $270

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

If my brother would have used one of these in his car, he'd be crying tears of joy. Yeah, he's a fan of Knight Rider. As in the Hoff's Knight Rider. This navigator looks awesome! I hope I can order one of these for my brother. I'm thinking of giving it as a gift to him. Man, he's gonna love the KITT specials in it!
