You are going to have Star Trek fans everywhere seeking out the GPS units using Majel Barret's voice!
Love the close ups of eyes and mouths for dramatic tension. I can see this is back before all the emphasis on white, straight teeth.
I guess I'm retro this way, but I preferred the TOS version of the computer... more deliberate somehow.
