For a $10 fee, Dutch web siteYourPND will record your voice via computer microphone and, within minutes, send back files formatted to work on most TomTom devices. They're also reportedly working on adding support for Garmin, Mio, and MyGuide GPS devices. And if you think someone really wants to hear your voice more than their own, the site will also put your files on a USB flash drive and mail it to the unfortunate recipient for $29.

Sounds like a fun little service, especially if it is as simple as it claims to be. But I think this technology could be put to better use saving lives: Someone needs to call Gilbert Gottfried. No one who has his voice blaring out of their GPS will ever fall asleep at the wheel again.

The service is available now for TomTom owners who can also read Dutch. Hopefully YourPND will have an English version of their site online by the time they add support for other GPS devices.

This would be great on the GO 720 - I love it and this service sounds fun!
