Take the TCN Along as You Drive

Well not exactly, but if you have Waze on your smartphone you can download the my voice to be your guide as you navigate. All you need to do is click on the link below from a phone which has the Waze app installed. Select ‘Bernie’ as your voice and before you know it I’ll be riding shotgun. The recordings work for both miles and kilometers so wherever you are it should be user friendly. Thanks for the ride! Let me know where in the world you’re using my voice.
