DriveAssist50 Voice Commands?

[lightbox61]

I have inheritted a Garmin Drive assist 50 and wondered if anyone might be able to help.

I can use the voice commands to find favourites, home, categories and history but can't work out how to do the basics - drive to an address and drive to a city centre!

Please can someone tell me how I do this.

Many thanks

You can't, at least not directly. You can navigate to favourites and history though, so just ensure any destinations are in favourites.


Having said that the instructions say you should be able to say Find place, and then input city or postcode. So far I've never got that to work and it's not in the list of phrases in the Voice Control app.

That's my experience too, find place does nothing

Edit: Just discovered why, the Drive models have two options, Voice Command and Voice Control (confusing!). I guess it depends on the model but my DriveAssist has Voice control (Find place doesn't work) but if you have Voice Command it should. Voice Control seems far simpler and less able than Voice Command, which I suspect is on the more expensive models in the Drive series, or could be map related as something I've just seen indicates Voice Command may only be available with the full EU map (I just have Western Europe on mine).

There is even an emoticon for that that sussamb chose not to use being a generous chappie. It goes a bit like this this

Voice command v Voice control

That's ringing bells.

That Drive unit I had briefly last year had the system where you don't shout verbal commands but menu numbers. Sort of like these telephone systems.

"One" then it displays the one sub menu, then you decide from that which item or another sub menu you want by shouting the menu number at it.

As I've posted before, I could not get it to distinguish between 2 and 3 then 4 and 5. It kept telling me that my command was too close to another one.
