GPS app lets drivers take Gary Busey on the road
Drivers can now rely on Academy Award-nominated actor Gary Busey to give them directions through NavTones' GPS voices. Busey offers turn-by-turn driving directions and advice such as, "do not pet the lions or the gorillas," or "don't look in to the rear-view mirror to clean your teeth, or you could rear end a log truck in Oregon and remove your teeth forever." NavTones' Gary Busey GPS Voice features more than 60 audio clips. It downloads to most Garmin nüvi portable GPS devices at navtones.com/garybusey.
