The company Waze has previously offered themed voices from Star Wars, including that of Darth Vader, although their availability varies depending on the region and the time. To access these options, you must download Waze from the Play Store or the App Store and go to the voice and sound settings to check if any Star Wars voice is available. Additionally, to adjust the assistant's voice, you can access the Google Assistant settings and select a deep voice that evokes Vader's imposing tone.
"You have arrived… although your destination is not yet written", this is one of the phrases that can be recorded in compatible applications like Waze to customize navigation instructions and make each trip an intergalactic adventure. Although Google Maps does not officially offer Star Wars voices at present, there are alternatives for those enthusiasts who wish to personalize their GPS with a galactic touch.
In 2015, with the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Google Maps launched a temporary campaign that allowed users to change the navigation voice to that of characters like Darth Vader or C-3PO, which was well received by fans. Although currently, it is not possible to change the navigation voice in Google Maps, thematic interactions can be made with specific commands through Google Assistant, such as phrases and galactic sound effects.
The ability to record your own instructions in applications like Waze satisfies the creativity of users who wish to personalize their navigation experience. Phrases like "Turn right… if you want to survive" or "In 300 meters… turn to the dark side" add a fun and unique touch to trips. Interacting with Google Assistant also offers references to Star Wars, which adds another level of immersion for fans of the saga.
Although the options to use themed voices from Star Wars are not directly available at present, users can turn to related applications and creative settings to simulate this experience. A practical option is to use the navigation application Waze, owned by Google, which allows customizing directions and feeling closer to the Force while driving, no matter the galactic location they are in.
