The GPS voice in my son’s Droid is none other than Barbara. My friend calls her GPS Sally. A woman who gave me a lift to a meeting the other night has chosen a British accent for hers and refers to her as Enid.

Have you personalized your GPS, and if so, who is she (or he)?

I don’t have one, and I’m starting to wonder if I’m missing out on a special little intimate relationship, as with a familiar.
