Google traffic and navigating app, Waze has decided to bring Morgan Freeman one step closer to our lives by integrating his voice to their GPS system.

Take a look at the world's secret sites on Google Earth
The Hollywood star's voice is a new addition to their celebrity voice list which includes Kevin Hart, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Elvis Presley.
According to E! Online, "The time has arrived, President Wazer. The world awaits your commands," and "You've arrived. It's been my honor and duty to see you through this mission," will be some of the many ways Freeman will address you. If that doesn't make you feel important, we don't know what will.
Freeman stars as US Vice President Trumbull in upcoming film London Has Fallen (the sequel to Olympus Has Fallen) and ahead of the film's release, the star's voice is being featured on Waze but only for a limited time.
Freeman plays the vice president in the movie, and in the app, he addresses the driver, as if the president. So if you've ever dreamed of being addressed as the US president by Morgan Freeman, the wait is finally over.
The news already has people in a tizzy:
You can get Morgan Freeman's voice on @waze now!? Can't wait to drive home tonight....

If only Google maps had banked on this idea
@googlemaps Please make Morgan Freeman the voice for google maps. #ZillionDollarIdea

Morgan Freeman's voice has been in more movies than the man himself. From the president of the US, to the voice of god, his voice is hypnotising. But it's a limited time offer (all the best things in life are).
Google Translate now speaks Pashto and Sindhi
To have Freeman dictate your driving directions all you have to do is is open Waze and click Settings>Sound>Voice Language>Morgan Freeman.
Morgan Freeman is my GPS voice. All is right in the world. #MorganFreeman #Waze

The fact that Morgan Freeman will now be narrating my drives through LA traffic is pretty amazing. Thank you #Waze!

The “Vice President” would like a word with you. (He has driving advice.)
