Does this unit have "voice activated navigation"? Can I SPEAK (not type) an address to it, like my standalone Garmin unit?

I see no way to do it. Maybe through an app of some sort. I have never updated firmware thogh

No.However,google now or siri can potentially work through blue tooth but not the garmin in unit.

My Nuvi 760 reverts to no voice quite often. This is more than annoying. It requires restoring to default many, many times before it finally reappears. Now, why does this POS even have that option???? EVERYBODY needs the voice! However, if some human being does not for some reason that is what the MUTE BUTTON is for! I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER GARMIN their designers are idiots!

Since you have purchase this item, can you tell me if directions are also given by voice?

Hello. No, for Navigation you will need Pioneer's add-on Navigation unit. Thank you.

Sirius and XM, yes. Navigation no, although voice nav from your phone will play through this unit (Bluetooth).

If you are thinking that this unit will respond to voice commands from you, this unit does not have that capability. This unit will only give YOU voice commands e.g. "turn right", "continue on route", "arriving at destination", etc.

I don't know but send a message to Garmin: they were very helpful to me. The "screen" is in color and very easy to read......The "voice" is clear most of the time.. I have noticed a few bad enunciations.

No. Nor does it come with a USB cable (which you will need to register the unit and download free firmware updates as well as map updates). I guess that is why it is so inexpensive (Garmin gets their money one way or another).

I'm sorry, I can't help you with this one. I purchased a new unit but can tell you that all of the user information and map updates are readily available on the Garmin internet site.

no voice recognition on this unit. That would be a great upgrade as the navigation is not easy to use.

If you go off route either intentionally or unintentionally, it will recalculate your route and begin giving audible commands for the new route. If you mean can you give a voice command to ask the GPS to calculate a detour, the answer is no. It does have a detour button, but this model does not take voice commands.

No GPS. No Strava. I've been using my Rox 5.0 for over a year and I'd buy it again.

The unit provides directions both audibly and on screen. I hope this helps.

It does however I had my unit about 3 months and the GPS portion stopped. I lost the navigation part and I know it is my unit and I will not buy another one....everything else works except GPS.

Yes, but it's not 100 per cent recognizant. However, if the voice input fails, it's really easy to manually input. Love my Garmin:)

Personally, it was clunky, the voice command sounds like it uses technology from a decade ago (think microsoft and siri). A smartphone's gps with google maps/waze is way better because the voice sounds more natural; plus, the map/traffic is more accurate and is updated real time. Your smartphone does not use that much data for maps.

I use an iPod. Do not need a voice or data plan with it. I think you need to use a GPS program that has all the maps installed when you download the app. ie Magellan Roadmate.
