My mom calls her Garmin GPS Gertty. I call mine, "hurry up mother f*cker", " wrong turn *** wipe", "shut up b*tch"

My family has all portable GPS so its different, we can throw ours out the window

Talking

I never named mine, but you know how the female voice speaks in English or French? I always thought how funny it would be if someone made a nav system that REALLY talked back. Like..."you missed the turn again, you dumba**", or "you passed the location 3 times..why are we driving around in circles, you idiot"..stuff like that....lol.

Since I had to make a voice activated navigation program for the carpc I'm developing, I had to find a name.... and someone suggested "leelo", this is the reverse of my name

Do you mean the Redneck version of the Lexus's Nav?

On the main menu, you can select English, French and then Redneck. If you select " Redneck" you will hear the voice of Jeff Worthy or Larry the Cable Guy telling you" Hey, in 1/4 of a mile turn left, yeah, your another left , idiot."
