Wouldn’t it be awesome if celebrities were the voice behind your turn-by-turn navigation? It would almost be as if they were right in the car with you! Well the good news for Waze users is that celebrities will be voicing turn-by-turn navigation for you thanks to a deal Waze and Universal Studios have struck up. In a bid to promote new movies as well as add some value to the popular app, the app will be utilized by celebrities who want to promote their movie. As it stands the first celebrity to lend their voice to the app would be Kevin Hart who will be starring in the upcoming movie, Ride Along, alongside Ice Cube.

Earlier this year Google announced that they had acquired Waze, which for those unfamiliar, is a mapping service that relies on user data to help construct maps with real-time traffic reports and updates, allowing drivers to potentially avoid areas that could be jammed.

Which celebrity would you love to hear lend their voice to the mapping application?
