NavTones also signed that kind of contract with Burt Reynolds and Dennis Hopper.
Navtones provides voices to navigation companies as Navman, Copilot, LowRance, VDO, Magellan, Alpine, Garmin, Pioneer, Kenwood, Clarion or TomTom. The latter already proposed the voice of John Cleese and imitations of a taximan from New-York or a psychanalist. The goal is to do, finally, the same business than the ringings of mobile phones.
