According to a post on Waze's blog, the app has Freeman as Vice President Trumbull, the same role he portrays in the film, to direct Waze users through traffic. His is one of the most requested voices by users and now, U.S. drivers can have Freeman as their new co-pilot.

Once the app is turned on and the user has selected "Morgan Freeman" from the list of options, the app will greet the user by saying, "The time has arrived, President Wazer. The world awaits your command."

Freeman's voice will make the app a little more exciting as the user hears his voice, saying, "The world awaits your command," as they make a turn.

Amber Kirby of Waze said that, as part of the deal, the app can direct users to theaters where "London has Fallen" is showing. However, Freeman's voice is available for a limited time only, until March 31, as reported by Wall Street Journal.

Waze is the first social navigation app that innovates modern maps. It is home to the world's largest group of drivers working together daily, avoiding heavy traffic to save time and money. It is consistent in providing the fastest routes based on the data of over 50 million users and on real-time driving. The app is compatible with iOS, Android and Windows and can be downloaded for free

With him are Gerard Butler, who reprises his role as Secret Service Agent Mike Banning; Aaron Eckhart as U.S. President Benjamin Asher; and Angela Basset as Lynne Jacobs, a Secret Service Director.
