Default Voice command question (new GS)

Does anyone know how you can ask for directions for a specific business?

For example:

Find "Home Depot"
Find "Ruth Chris Steakhouse"

I'm really impressed with how easy entering an address is (and how accurate the voice recognition is), but could not find a command that would allow me to directly find a route to a business name.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried saying exactly those phrases? I've asked for the Marriott by saying "Find Marriott" and it found it. Sometimes you may need to ask for "Steakhouse" and then it will list all of the steakhouses near by. In fact my wife and I went to dinner at Ruth Chris Steakhouse right after we took delivery of the GS and that is how we found the direction to it.

It is Ruth's Chris Steak House (with 's), not Ruth Chris... Maybe that is why is didn't recognize it.

It's easy do it with the Bing app. You can search for Whataburger or The Alamo or Caesar's Palace. With two clicks you can call them or set guidance to take you there.
