For a limited time, users can download the voice of former NBA all-star Shaquille O’Neal to guide them on the road.

Shaq’s voice is available for download starting April 13th for a limited time during the playoffs. To select his voice, go to Menu → Settings → Sound → Voice Language → Shaquille O’Neal.
