Waze Taps Roger Federer To Help You Navigate Roads With His Voice… And Coaching
Ever dreamed of having 20-time major winner Roger Federer coach you? Well, now you can.
Alright, he won’t be exactly coaching you in tennis, but his smooth voice will guide you as you drive around your city.
Waze has just added the retired tennis player to its roster of celebrity voices to get you where you need to go. The Swiss athlete will serve up some of his polyglottic talents as he can read out navigation routes in English, French, and German, a first for the app.
Alongside being told how to get to your brunch appointment in a multitude of different languages, Waze has also incorporated some tennis-centered quips from the player, such as, “It’s drive time—I can feel the adrenaline kicking in already,” and “Make a U-Turn. Hey, even champions can mess up.” And having Federer give you words of encouragement as you drive might make the trip all the more worth it.
You can find this feature under Waze Voice in the app, where the voices of other celebrities such as Christina Aguillera and the Jonas Brothers are stored. Not only that, but you can also change the look of the little car on your map to Federer’s Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV or his Maybach S-Class Cabriolet to get into the mindset of a winner.
