NAV voice command question

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.

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

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 have the same situation as Tom #1 -- Build date: 3/06. Interested in a solution, although not a big deal.

Well, I'm stumped. I'm driving a 2004, obviously with an older build date. I don't have any problem with this. I would again recommend saying "CHANGE TO Single Map" instead of just "Single Map". When Jill misunderstands (at least with my car) she only says "Command not available in this screen" without repeating what command she thought she heard you say. For all I know, she could think I was asking for winning lottery numbers. Just a thought. Don't know why a more recent build date would remove functionality...

I tried the other day, and Jill seemed to misunderstand my command. (If you look at the Nav, she shows you what she thought you said.)

After about four tries, she finally understood when I said "map." And she told me to get lost...not available in this screen.

 

I haven't seen anyone actually answer qbee42's question about getting out of compass mode with just voice commands. I am compiling a list of all 2006 Voice Commands and have tried all of them except the Bluetooth ones (I don't have a bluetooth phone). And this is what I have found.

Getting out of Compass Mode is indeed VERY difficult with voice commands. You must be under guidance to get out.

If you get into compass mode and have a destination set, then these commands will get you back to a single map:

1) "Turn by turn guidance" - gets you to another guidance screen. This is the only "guidance" command that reliably gets me out of compass mode. "Arrow guidance" and "Turn list guidance" sometimes works.
2) "Single Map" - back to where you started.

If you get into compass mode and there is no destination set, then you must set a destination, switch to single map, and then delete your destination. It goes something like this:

1) "Previous Destination" - Can't use "Nearest "____"", must use a Quick Access or Previous destination
2) "Enter Destination"
3) "Show Map" or "Map" - takes you back to compass mode and starts guidance. You might have to drive to the start of guidance to get guidance to start.
4) "Turn by turn guidance"
5) "Single Map"
6) "Delete All Destinations" - remove destination
7) "Yes" - back to where you started

For 6), you may also say "Stop guidance" if you don't want to remove destination.

So it is 6 or 7 steps to verbally get out of Compass Mode.

Conclusion: Push the button.
