Default Voice Commands

I made the following list of voice commands that might be most used by me. I set the font at 8, print and laminated it to the front side of a 3x5 card - I keep it handy in the center counsel when I forget a command. Please don't start with a debate about reading while driving - this is a cheat sheet only while stopped - how's that?
Not sure if I missed any commands that might be useful. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the post. I will do likewise. I have to admit that the voice command portion of the Nav is the only thing I have not yet become confident with in my car. This will help!!

Since you can just hit the rocker switch to track up and down the voice command is an extra step for that function. Other than that its a good list. I have been making a point of memorizing a couple new functions every few days and have the ones I use down now. It would be nice if they had scan presets as a command. I would also like to be able to say the radio station name and go to that station although I dont know if that is within the limits of the system.

Well, the back side of the 3 x 5 card has a series of "special" voice commands that apply depending on the driver's personalized needs....

I must admit... the voice command option is the only reason I'm considering the full nav package, etc...

What other commands does it offer? Isn't there some 170+?

Can someone video tape a demo to post up for those interested?

Thanks!

Yeah ive learned how to use the nav with touch screen...but not the voice nav part yet. The thing is some of the few commands i use it sometimes confuses them....like i will say POI Off and it will say switching to largest view...personally i havent found the voice activation very useful except to find hotels/restaurants/gas....thats the only thing ive found it useful...also unrelated does anyone know how to put in the phone number to get guidance to the destination for that phone number...i cant figure it out.

With the nav up hit the menu button. Hit the enter destination button. When your at the enter destination screen hit the little arrow pointing to the right. This is located straight across (to the right) from where it says enter destination. This will bring up a few more options for entering a destination of which one is by phone number.

Word of caution on the voice activated feature. Do not under any circumstances yell, "F**** idiot" at the person who just cut you off. If you do, Michael Moore's face will appear on the NAV screen.

Getting late, and as you can see, I'm bored....

I had to fiddle with it a little to find that one myself. I was afraid I was going to have to call up one of my kids to come over and show me how but some button pressing saved me.
