The retired, polyglottic tennis star can offer directions in English, French, or German, and is the first person to record custom navigation in three different languages, the navigation app said on Wednesday. The 41-year-old Swiss offers a variety of motivational messages to drivers, on top of basic directions. "It's drive time - I can feel the adrenaline kicking in already," Federer says in one recording. I'm ready to coach you along the way." Federer joins an assortment of celebrity voices on the navigation app, which Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) acquired for $1 billion in 2013, including pop stars Christina Aguilera and the Jonas Brothers.
