NAV Voice Recognition
I have a 2014 and the navigation voice recognition is poor. This seems to be a common problem. It has a lot of difficulty understanding names and addresses. I was just wondering if anyone has had any luck setting the system back to factory defaults. I thought I would ask before trying on my own and losing all my preset information.
Any advice on improving vr performance is appreciated!

Have you updated the NAV software to a current version? If it's on the original 2014 version, an update may help. Personally, I've never had issues with factory NAV. It has been some time since I started using Android Auto, so I use the NAV system there now. Good luck getting sorted!

I have a 2014 with factory NAV and have not experienced any problems with voice recognition on my car.

OK, just a thought. You may try a factory reset, but I doubt it will help. I also find voice recognition on addresses poor. Now trying to train a new Subaru to my midwest accent. Of course the command syntax is different too.

I was trying to enter information slowly and had many problems. When, I started using a normal voice, things worked mush better.

No more NAV updates for car owners but no problem to continue to provide our driving information to insurance companies… Sorry, I guess I woke up cranky today.
