Wouldn't it be great if you could get a GPS with a personality? When you go around a corner, if you take it sharply enough, it will go "whee." Of course in an unemotional GPS standard tone.
Or a GPS with the personality of Marvin the Paranoid Android. "You can turn left here. Or right. I don't really care, what is the point?"
It might be fun if it had way-points built in and you've told it you're not really in a hurry: it could suggest brief detours. "Hey, let's stop for coffee and doughnuts! Turn right in 100 meters."
You could tell it how much time you have to waste.
Or, to give a route that only involves right turns.
