The 2008 Prius Navigation System includes voice commands for inputting an entire street address using the command "Address" even while moving. Same for POI's. Another poster provided a web link to a nice demonstration of many of the features: Toyota Navigation System However, all the Navigation Command lists I have been able to find appear to be for older models that do not have the "Address" voice command. Could someone post an updated list of known voice commands for the 2008? Thanks.
My 2006 v5.1 Nav has the "address" command. You speak the state, city, street, and street number. Then the Nav lets you set that as the destination. The challenge is getting the Nav to understand the words. Try "Morro Bay" and see how many ridiculous cities she thinks you're saying...
I have gotten a little better in having the NAV understand my spoken address commands. I have found the key is to speak quite normally. Most people seem to speak way to loudly. But I'm up for the challenge. I'd like to say the address for 'Morro Bay' What state is it in? Marvin
Morro Bay is in California. If I recall correctly, I have to pronounce it "Murrow, Bay" with a bit of a pause before the "Bay." Of coures, since I live 20 miles north of Morro Bay, I rarely need the Nav to get anywhere in that town. But it's sometimes fun to fool with the Nav on the highway, just to see her come up with something as odd as "Helendale." One disadvantage of living in California is that we've got LOTS of cities. Think how lucky the folks in Rhode Island are!
Re: New Voice Commands Listing Still Needed Well, thanks for letting me know that the "Address" command is not new to the 2008...and has been around a while. I thought it was new because I didn't have it in my 2005 (or maybe I just didn't know I had it!) Also I didn't have "Nearest" command that the 2008 has. But does ANYBODY have a complete list of all the voice commands. The lists on this board that I've been able to find do not include the "Address" or "Nearest" commands. Can someone please direct me to an up-to-date list of all voice commands that applies to 2008 (and perhaps beyond 2006) I didn't get the "quick guide" so perhaps they are all listed in there. If so, I'll push my dealer to get me that guide. Many thanks.
Here they are from the 2008 Navigation System Guide we just picked up our Prius this week : ) NAVIGATION MODE -DESTINATION- Go Home Address Delete final destination -MAP OPERATION- Show map Zoom in Zoom out -GUIDANCE HELP- Repeat guidance Arrow guidance Turn list guidance Turn by turn guidance Resume guidance Stop guidance Intersection guidance -SCREEN PREFERENCES- Single map Dual map Compass mode -VOLUME- Louder Softer -POI- Nearest "________" ATM Airport Amusement park Bank Barber shop Car wash Coffee house Convenience store Department store Dry cleaning Ferry terminal Gas station Golf course Grocery store Historical monuments Home and garden Library Parks Pharmacy Post office Restaurant** Rest area or rest stop Specialty food store Stadium Theatre Tourist information Video rental Zoo Hide icons **Nearest "_____" Restaurant (American, Chinese, Fast, Italian, French, Japanese, Mexican, Seafood, or other) food or restaurant may be interchanged TELEPHONE MODE -CALLING- Dial by number Dial by name Dial Cancel AUDIO MODE -MODE- Radio AM FM - FM 1 or FM 2 SAT CD Changer -FUNCTIONS- Audio on Audio off Next track Previous track Seek up Seek down Next disc Previous disc CLIMATE CONTROL MODE -TEMPERATURE- Automatic air conditioning Automatic air conditioning on Automatic air conditioning off Raise temperature Lower temperature Warmer Cooler "_____" degrees (65-85) HELP
Also look in the Navigation system Quick Referrence Guide, that came with your car. Its a small booklet, and they are all listed there.
As noted in my prior posting...I didn't get the quick guide when I bought my Prius. The dealer is supposed to be getting me one. And it wasn't clear to me whether the quick guide had all the commands...or just a summary of the most used commands. Also, the various command listings on this board do not appear to have been updated -- I guess what we need is a complete listing of commands by model year.
Sort of off topic, but if you have extra time on a trip, it's fun to pick the shortest route and see where Jill sends you. Doing this, we have taken little quarter mile detours through small towns and in and out of places we would never see otherwise. Tom
Dealer today told me about TOYOTAiGUIDE.COM where the toyota vehicle docs are being located. Unfortunately, the Prius docs are not yet there HOWEVER since the navigation system is the same...you can find the complete automated Navigation Guide tutorial and what I was looking for: the Quick Start Guide. Just click on Camry Hybrid (until they get the Prius loaded there), choose "Navigation System" and then choose "More on Navigation." Dealer didn't know why my 2008 Package 5 didn't come with the paper copy...but no problem now that I have it online.
