I must be stupid. I can't get the navigation to take voice commands to get me directions anywhere.

What would you say to your GS to (for example) get directions to Toys 'r' Us?

 

I assume you have the voice recognition prompt turned On. I suspect 'Toys R Us' may not be recognized...like many other store names or restaurant names, company names, etc. Instead, you should look to find a category...like 'nearby restaurants'. You might try; 'Find nearby toy stores', or 'Find nearby shopping'. Probably the best best way to find a specific store would be to simply go to POIs and type 'Toys R Us' and let it search for it.

 

Voice command won't be able to recognize a lot of places, and will confuse things that sound similar, such as Boeing for bowling.

You can command it to look for a place by saying "Find Chipotle" and it'll list all the Chipotles around your area by distance.

If you want to look for a specific address, just press the voice command, say "address", and then say whatever address you're looking to go to.

Good luck.

 

I would use this:

"Destination search"

"Toys R Us"

Destination search always works best for me, though you do need Enform running.
