GPS voice
Directions from dashboard
GPS voice is the synthesized or recorded voice that gives spoken directions from a GPS navigation system: The GPS voice told me to turn left in 500 feet.
These voices range from robotic to natural-sounding, and many devices let users choose different voices or accents.
The term often appears when the voice becomes a minor character in driving narratives—ignored, argued with, or blamed for bad directions.
