Pimp your satnav

[Clarkspie&chips]

I was lucky enough to get a new Garmin satnav from father christmas this year and whilst i was setting it up i noticed in the extras menu on the Garmin express software i could download an X-wing and Tie Fighter to swap out for the boring blue arrow. Not sure if this is available for all models but its pretty damn cool, the fighters even bank as you drive round corners!

Ha sounds awesome! My sat nav is that old i cant even get ozzy osbourne or homer simpson on directions! :?

When we drove to Essen for Celebration Europe 2 in 2013 (I nearly said last year) we had the Tie Fighter on. I haven't changed it since!

Yeah my Garmin's got some cool vehicle icons - Star Wars ones, VW camper, skeleton hand etc

I have got Vaders Tie Fighter for my car icon, the Star Wars logo for my boot up screen and best of all Vaders Voice giving me directions... 8)

When I took a ferry crossing he told me to "bring me the passengers I want them alive" :shock:

:lol: :lol:

Yes when I used to have one (until we got one built in the car) I had Darth Vader! 8)

Chubb are you serious? Thats amazing. Do you need to hack it or can you download it from Garmin?

I got a Tom Tom...

When you plug it into your PC you can upload images to it so I created a new image for the start up screen and an xwing, falcon and Vaders tie icons.

I downloaded a free Vaders speech pack but it was so **** I bit the bullet and went to the Tom Tom website to pay for the real thing, it's awesome. The same voice pack they used when they made the Vader car on West Coast Customs.

I have got a chav voice pack too, she tells me she is pregnant with my baby when I reach my destination :lol:

 

[Clarkspie&chips]

Ha ha, wicked. I'll get involved.
