GPS Voice Recognition Can Save You

GPS voice recognition solves the most dangerous aspect of using an automotive GPS and that is taking your eyes off the road to manually enter commands into the GPS. TomTom, Magellan, Navigon, and Garmin have GPS units that will respond to voice input.

The first Garmin to accept voice input was the Garmin Nuvi 880. When you want the GPS to listen for voice input, you push the remote button and speak the command. You can speak any menu option when you depress the remote button and the GPS voice recognition will recognize it.
