It's much harder than that. If I say Weather and then say Yes, I get a map with one city on it. While driving I have move the cursor around until it exacts heads the city. Usually takes three tries and takes my eyes off the road. But I'm done yet. I then have to mouse over and hit the info button.

Total of two voice commands and 2-6 tricky mousing arounds. I should be able to say Forecast and be done with it.

Just took a LAB survey and mentioned this. It's a simple software fix if they ever decide to implement it.

This is correct. Just say Weather. The car knows where you are and will give you the local weather. That's how it worked for me. Otherwise, depending on your version of Enform it will ask you the city and state. Just continue the "conversation" with Enform if it asks additional questions. You don't have to scroll anything.

This does not work while driving. Siri will tell you this but Lexus makes you stop and park to get it. Ugh.
