NAV voice command question

[qbee42]

This is one of those issues that isn't important except that I can't figure it out, so now it bothers me. Here is my issue:

With the NAV display in single map mode, I can issue the voice command "compass mode"; the MFD switches to compass mode. Now here is the interesting part: once in compass mode, I can't find a voice command that switches back to a map display. If I say "single map" or "dual map", Jill says that the command is not valid in that mode. If I say "map", she says something like "displaying location", but stays in compass mode. There doesn't seem to be a valid voice command to get back.

I can switch back by pushing the display mode button on the touch screen and switching to single or dual map.

Do you think this is a bug, or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Tom

The full list of voice commands is here: http://priuschat.com/forums/files/prius_na...on_commands.pdf

The ones I'd try first: "Map" or "Map Direction."

Or maybe North Up. Since I don't have my Prius yet I'm only guessing based on my Garmin. Compass mode means the car arrow is always pointing up and the map rotates? North Up would lock the map with north to the top and the car pointer rotates.

"Map" worked just now for me.

I considered "North Up" but figured that would be rejected in compass mode.

Thanks Rick, but as I said in my original post, "map" only causes Jill to say "current position". "map direction" is not allowed with that screen.

I went through the list of commands from the help screen on the MFD, and didn't find any that worked. Not, of course, trying every command and permutation, but trying any that looked promising.

So I'm back to my original question. Let's see if anyone can figure this out. <_<

The Australian G2 does not have this feature. The button is there but it does nothing, no mention of it in the manual

Is there any way of turning it on?

I use the compass button in the upper left corner to shift the map from "North Up" to "Whatever-Direction-I'm-Driving Up."

What is your build date? The 11/05 2006's have a known problem with the "AM Radio" command not working - it recognizes the command but doesn't do anything. I wonder if this is another example of the same type problem? My car had it's NAV unit and DVD replaced about 6 weeks ago. That fixed the "AM radio" problem, but mine acts just like yours: "Map" just repeats the current position and leaves me in compass mode.

Saying "Single Map" works fine for me. Maybe Jill just isn't understanding you properly. Try saying "Change to Single Map" instead of just "Single Map". That works too, and it's harder to misunderstand.

I think it must be a build date issue. Jill recognizes the command, because she says something like "single map mode not allowed in this screen."

I'll check the build date.
