The Terminator is no longer available but in anticipation of The Force Awakens movie opening there is now a Star Wars voice pack available! Featuring the voice of C-3PO and the sounds of R2-D2 & BB-8, the pack also includes various Star Wars virtual 'road goodies' that you can find as you travel. There's been a lot of voices over the years but most of them are usually just available on a temporary basis.

"Even in the recording studio, people were laughing at every single line when I put the Arnold spin on it." Where I come in, I'm bringing the Arnold twist," Schwarzenegger said.
The Terminator feature will last through mid-July. Schwarzenegger required a one-hour recording session to provide the automated prompts for Waze - everything from routine commands such as "turn left" to Ah-nuld-isms such as "Hasta la vista, Baby" at the end of the journey. "Now you have machines telling you where to drive." It was science fiction then," Schwarzenegger, 67, told USA TODAY. "In 1984, when we did (the first) Terminator, we talked about the world being run by machines. To Schwarzenegger, being the voice of a phone navigation app is tinged with irony. Waze has skyrocketed in growth from 15 million users in 2012 to its current 50 million.
