Default voice commands for 01 gs navi

i know the "home" command works, but what else. i looked ever the navigation users booklet but didnt see anything. anyone have a list? I did a search and only found posts saying that there wasnt commands and it wasnt voice activated, but since like i said, "home" works, i dont completely believe it. If you have any info for me, post up!

the 2gs navs have voice recognition? that's totally new to me, especially for 01. for other lexus, it's not up to at least 2004 did they have voice recognition, including ls430 (2004). sc430 started in 2005 when gen 4 nav became avaiable, which includes the bluetooth and voice recognition. 02-04 were all gen2/3 nav and they didn't have voice recognition

and if i am correct, 01-05 gs all had gen2/3 nav?

do you even have a mic button?

listen, try it.... hit the destination [voice] button and say home. it started routing the home location programmed in my GS (somewhere in Nevada but thats besides the point). I was just as shocked as u make it sound like i'm making it up

dont know if you could install it on the gs, but when i had my 02 IS3, i bought a mic kit from carson that could be install onto the stock navi. very easy install and and has some pretty cool commands, but it gets old after a while.... useful when you taking long trips by yourself... you can talk to your navi if your bored.... i would think the kit works for our gs also

Chris i've told you a million times stop listening to the voices. They're not there, it's in your head.
