Default Quickest way to stop navigation?

I'm relatively familiar with the nav system in the 14 ES 350 , and I'm picking up a 15 GS 350 this weekend, so it seems pretty close..

One dumb problem I always had though, was getting the thing to stop yapping at me, it seems kind of convoluted if I want to simply cancel a route. Can I issue a simple voice command to get it to stop, or is their a quick set of buttons I can press to
stop/cancel it? Every time I would drive my mom's ES this would drive me batty but I never figured out how to stop it easily, I always had to go through some convoluted series of choices to get it to stop yapping. LOL.

Press Voice Command button and say "delete destination" and confirm when it asks you to.

Much appreciated. This was driving me nuts in my mom's car!

Are there any other quick useful hints? Can you use a voice command to set a new destination on the fly?

To cancel navigation on my 2013 model I use the menu button, then either there is a "Del. Destination" button at the top or I click on Destination and the "Del. Destination" button appears.

The only destination that i have been able to do "on the fly" is to navigate home. You must have a home address set, but once you do just press the Voice Command button and say "go home". You'll get a response, "would you like to go home?" Yes!

I use commands like "find nearby Starbucks" fairly frequently. Also "go home" as mentioned above.

Thanks for the tip! Super embarrassing not knowing how to do this last weekend.

I just say "Enter An Address" when clicking on the voice button and then walk through saying the address at the appropriate prompts. Gets around the graying out of the visual address entry when moving.

This can be done while moving:

Menu button on console > Click on Destination on screen > Click on Del. Dest. at top right on screen

Takes about 3 seconds...
