    Does anyone have any comments on how to get the voice command feature to work better. I am really socked everytime I have used it how poorly it performs. It is by far the worst voice recognition system I have ever tried to use. At this point, unless I can get better performance I wont bother using it anymore. it is really quite awful

    I completely agree, I never use it, not that it doesn't recognize what I'm saying, it just doesn't do what I ask. Finding directions is the worst, It refuses to recognize an address and always tries to search for a business, most of the time it can't even find smaller places if I ask for them specifically. Directions are about all I would use it for, what other commands would be useful?

    I only use four and it works like a champ.

    Call office

    Call wife cell

    Call wife work

    Cancel navigation

    Process is pretty easy for me. If I want to use the nav I just type in the address manually and pick a route.

    Calling people does seem to work well, and canceling navigation. Typing in just sucks because you have to be stopped, and it should be faster to just say the address or location.

    Previous truck just had a radio and CD player so typing in the destination is just fine for me.

    First world problems....

    Do you need to know, or care?
    This is what I use it for, anything else is useless, especially Nav commands.
