words.

Some tips for using voice control

You can help your GO understand what you are saying by following these tips:
Mount your GO about an arm's length in front of you, away from speakers or air vents.

Reduce background noise such as voices or the radio. If there is excessive road noise, you may

need to speak in the direction of the microphone.
Speak fluently and naturally as though speaking to a friend.

When saying an address, try not to pause between parts of the address or add extra words.

 Say "number one" or "number two" and not "one " or "two" when selecting an item from a list
such as a house number.
Try not to correct mistakes, for example "Number four, oh I mean number five."

Important: Voice control on your GO is specifically for native speakers of the selected language who
have a neutral accent. If you have a strong local or foreign accent, voice control may not
understand everything that you say.
