Waze adds Morgan Freeman’s voice as latest celebrity narrator
The Morgan Freeman voice commands are available for free to all Waze users who can download and apply them in the Settings menu under Sound and Voice Language.
I remember, back when single-use Global Positioning System units were common, spending an inordinate amount of time choosing the voice for the turn-by-turn directions.

If you’ve ever wanted to be addressed as the U.S. President-and have one of Hollywood’s most iconic voices narrate your morning commute-your time has come.
If you use Google’s navigation app Waze, you may be familiar with the celebrity voices option – instead of having a generic narrator giving you turn-by-turn voice directions, a well-known celebrity will give those directions.
This isn’t the only place where has Freeman provided his vocal talent.
Freeman follows a long line of celebrities from the film and sports world who have graced the app landscape. The London Has Fallen actor also narrates an ad for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign titled “All the Good”, which will start airing in SC as the state gets ready for the Democratic primary on Feb 27. The movie also stars Gerard Butler as Secret Service Agent Mike Banning, Aaron Eckhart as President Benjamin Asher, and Angela Bassett as Secret Service Director Lynne Jacobs.
When Waze got Arnold Schwarzenegger to add his voice to their navigation app, it felt like a huge deal. In London. The movie opens March 4.
