Tips for Speaking to the Device

  • Speak in a clear voice directed at the device.
  • Start each request with OK, Garmin.
  • Reduce background noise, such as voices or the radio, to help the device interpret your commands more accurately.
  • Respond to voice prompts from the device as needed.
  • If you do not receive a useful response, try rephrasing your request.
  • If the device does not respond to your requests, verify that it is not placed near a speaker or air vent, which can produce noise that interferes with the microphone.
