Works great my ***! I spent about 10 minutes saying "Navigate to DMV", no go, "Navigate to the Department of Motor Vehicle" - nope. Navigate to Department of Motor Vehicle in Santa Clara, California - nope. Whipped out my Android phone "OK Google, navigate to the DMV" - OK... I also could not get Navigate to McKnee Ranch to work for crap. Turns out I had to say Navigate to McKnee Ranch State Park or it wouldn't work. I found that if you didn't say the plural form of some places it couldn't find it. The voice recognition of MyLink is total crap! Couldn't be easier? Of course it can - get Android Auto instead. It's 10x better than MyLink.
Siri: "The weather in Santa Clara is going to be mild today"
Me again: "Hey Siri, take me to the DMV"
Siri: "Would you like to know the score of the Giants game?"
Me last time: Hey Siri, take me to the DMV"
Siri: "Would you like a list of local diners?"
Me: "Screw you, Siri"
Siri: "Do you need a Phillips or regular?"
Reliable voice command technology is still ten years off IMO.

Siriously... (<- pun) - I've heard that Siri has been way out of date for quite some time now. Apple's falling behind majorly... ah, another joke - bigly! :-) It's a shame really as iPeople should get the benefit of good voice recognition too.
I did love how it asked you if your needed a Phillips or regular screw driver. Did it really respond that way or were you making a joke?

Nav
With the built in Nav system on the C7 ...you can SPEAK your destination. POI's...Intersections...or address's. Works great. Just press the Bluetooth button on the steering wheel .... wait for the tone and say NAVIGATION and then follow the prompts....couldn't be easier....
I will always use it

I have concluded that I must be speaking in some foreign, unknown dialect of English. Most of the time the Nav presents the list of destinations that isn't even close to what I said.
