     2. Description of Related Art 
     GPS systems are currently used in many vehicles to provide driving directions for the driver. GPS systems provide a visual layout and mapping of the directions to a particular point as input by the user. GPS systems also can visually pinpoint the location of an individual or vehicle on mapped screen. In addition to providing a layout of the directions on a small screen, a GPS system may also use voice commands to help direct the user to follow the appropriate directions provided. Many times the voice responses relate to simply a left turn approaching, right turn approaching, U turn approaching, etc. Further some GPS systems alert the user of upcoming traffic situations and provide a means of avoidance thereof. Although some forms of voice commands are provided it would be entertaining to have comical or even profane language included in the voice response system. Such catch phrases could be input into the voice command software to coincide with certain actions taken in relation to the directions provided by the GPS system. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a GPS voice command system comprising: mapping and direction software residing on a memory device; a visual display means; and a series of voice commands associated with directions provided by the GPS system, where series of voice commands include the comical and profane phrases for entertainment purposes.
