Ready to inject some joy and mischief into your summer commute? Waze is bringing the world’s favorite cheerful troublemakers back to the passenger seat, just in time for the theatrical release of Illumination’s all-new “Minions & Monsters” on July 1.

Once again, the Minions have "hacked" the Waze navigation system. To keep things from going completely off the rails, they’ve been paired with Waze’s unflappable default voice, Jane. As Jane delivers clear, concise directions, the Minions will be right there to complement her with their hilarious Minionese quips like “voila,” “woohoo” and “banana!”

Along with custom Minionese navigation, you can activate a suite of Minions moods featuring the film’s new Minion stars – James, Henry, and Ed – and swap your car for the “Loco-Motive.”

This experience is available globally in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Download the latest version of Waze and look for the “Minions & Monsters” banner in the menu or activate it now.

The background is a vibrant geometric grid of yellow, blue, and orange
