With global positioning software becoming more commonplace in cellphones, the future’s looking grim for those standalone car-mounted GPS units.

So it’s time to go with the novelty/nostalgia pitch as a killer app. Mio Technology commissioned William Daniels to reprise his role as KITT to produce the voice audio for Knight Rider GPS. No 1982 Pontiac Firebird required!

Obviously, Mio is banking on the secret desire of Generation X geeks to pretend they’re David Hasselhoff while behind the wheel. And apparently, the fanboys approve.
