Entering addresses using your voice

Important: In the interest of safety and to reduce distractions while you are driving, you should always plan a route before you start driving.

Even if you don't use voice control to start planning a journey, you can still use your voice to enter the address.

To start planning a journey tap Navigate to or Drive to in the Main menu, then tap Address.

To enter the destination using your voice, tap one of the following buttons:

Spoken address

Tap this button to enter an address entirely using speech.

Spoken address helps you to enter information without tapping the screen.
