I know that 2010 Nav adds traffic and Enform OnStar like service, but is there any improvement in the voice recognition for Navigation.

I tried the navigation voice recognition on a 2007 the other day and it was terrible, worthless almost. Easier just to manually input it. My TomTom 740 live has very good voice recognition and it can be mounted to an AC vent or window (which is not allowed in CA), but who wants those wires hanging there.

The Ford Synch system has a tutorial that learns your voice and makes the Nav better, is there anything like that on the 2010 Nav?

Voice recognition has improved with the 2010 model year. An occasional recognition glitch now and then, but nothing too bad. If you're on the move you can also call Destination Assist if you don't want to mess with it.

 

I had an 08 and just got a 10. The voice recognition is better among other things.

 

I have an 09 w/nav and I have experienced the 10, the 10 is better IMO, a little more features, plus you have the Enform which if you subscribe to all it's features is really cool. However, I find mine very much adequate for my needs.
