Garmin Camper 770

Anyone successfully used the "Voice command"? I will let you hear mine if you let me hear yours Just as well I have great patience!

Such a strong Scottish accent – even some of us humans living South of the border would have problems understanding those voice commands.

A good Glaswegian friend of mine nearly died laughing trying to get some new lab equipment to obey her voice commands. Her potential new customer was from Sri Lanka and faired no better!

Well its not as if they say "Hey you are a weegie here's a discount"

My 760 goes into Voice Command mode without warning if I happen to talk loudly while driving. It's always uncommanded, unexpected and distracting. The map disappears until I press the back/exit button.

It's a gimmick feature I could do without.

Try putting on an American accent, or do as my wifey does and swear at it under your breath.
Seriously though, we have the same problem down here in leafy Surrey, even with our posh Windsorian accents the bloody thing thinks we are aliens and cannot understand plain English.
We give up and type in the postcode as its quicker!.
Its even crap when I say....put the kettle on, or sod it!... I will just read the road signs.
Thanks for posting though it was very funny, tell it you are skunnert with it.

I agree but if you listen at the very end I said three three and it responded with thirty-three so it clearly SHOULD know thirty-three.

Thank you Sandra -It was really funny listening to you and your amazing patience with this bit of non Weegie trained kit. Perhaps there is a future for you supplying Garmin with the skills it clearly needs for us poor Scots

Why didn't you just say Stepps or Millerston? I used to be a postie, maybe I could get a job as a satnag

 

[Jaws]

Do I detect a hint of exasperation in the Garmin voice !! ??

 

[Larrynwin]

I have more luck with voice commands to the Garmin than to the wife

Bad enough trying to get it to understand G33 let alone Riddrie.
