Daily Bread for 2.18.23: The Voice Behind the GPS

Good morning.

Saturday in Whitewater will be mostly sunny with a high of 38. Sunrise is 6:46 AM and sunset 5:30 PM for 10h 44m 33s  of daytime. The moon is a waning crescent with 4.6% of its visible disk illuminated.

 On this day in 1885, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is published in the United States.


 

Meet Karen Jacobsen, a voiceover artist from Queensland Australia, who has one of the most recognizable voices in the world. As the original voice of GPS, she’s helped billions of us to reach our destination. Back in 2002, she recorded more than 50 hours of audio for the first ever GPS voice system, including 168 versions of the word “approximately.”

Has she told you where to go? Recalculating.
