Using celebrity voice has been a thing for Amazon and its Echo devices. Now, Google has also joined the bandwagon by partnering with none other than sporting great Roger Federer for Waze maps. Incidentally, this comes a day after Amazon officially discontinued celebrity voices from Echo devices. Amazon used to have the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Samuel L Jackson as celebrity voices.

The Roger Federer experience involves getting directions while navigation. It will inform about any hazards ahead as well. “If the momentum of your drive starts to turn as traffic slows you down, he’ll keep your head in the game with words of encouragement like: “Make a U-Turn. Hey, even champions can mess up” or “Heavy traffic reported ahead. Let’s treat this like a change-of-ends break. I might even put on a fresh shirt,” said Google in the blog post.
There’s also an update your mood feature. For instance, you can update your Mood to Victorious to embrace the champion lifestyle.
This experience is available globally with voice navigation in English, French, and German. All you need to ensure is that you have the latest version of the Waze app. Once you are in the Waze app, head to the left menu of your app to look for the Roger Federer banner.
