When it comes to navigation and mapping, Google Maps is quite often thought of first. But, over the years, a lot of users have called upon the power of Waze, with its crowd-sourced information that can alert you to nearby police, accidents, and more, in real time.
As we head into the busy holiday season, many will be traveling quite a bit, and whether it"s heading to the mall for those last minute presents or driving to the in-laws to feast on some glorious tofurkey, Waze will be able to give you directions, utilizing the soothing sound of Liam Neeson"s voice. This isn"t the first time that Waze has had a bit of fun when it comes to using celebrity voices, with Neeson"s arriving just in time to promote his new film, The Commuter.
In order to activate the voice, you"ll want to navigate to the settings menu, head to the voice directions section, and select Liam Neeson. You can see what this looks like in the provided image. Those outside the United States will be a bit bummed, as Neeson"s voice is exclusive to the United States. The voice will be available for use until January 14.
