Tips for Speaking to the Device • Speak in a clear voice directed at the device. • Start each request with OK, Garmin. • Reduce background noise, such as voices or the radio, to help the device interpret your commands more accurately. • Respond to voice prompts from the device as needed. • If you do not receive a useful response, try rephrasing your request. • If the device does not respond to your requests, verify it is not placed near a speaker or air vent, which can produce noise that interferes with the microphone. Launching Garmin Voice-Activated Navigation Garmin voice-activated navigation allows you to use plain language spoken requests to search for locations and addresses, start routes with turn-by-turn directions, place handsfree phone calls, and more. • Say OK, Garmin, and make a spoken request.
