Voice Command Question - can you help?
I know I should know this but ...
Voice commands for navigation - I can get all types of destinations input via voice except the type I use most often (Memory).
Navigate to a POI - easy, just say "POI".
Navigate to a new address - easy, just say "Input destination"
BUT ... how do I get it to show me a list of my saved memory destinations?
These are obviously the ones I use the most (hence why I saved them) but I can't find the voice command to select one of those from the list.
Note I am not talking about "voice tags" where you record your voice, I am talking about just showing a list of saved locations on the screen, just like it already does for POI's.
I'm confused, can you help?

Try "List Destination Memory"

I think the closest I can get is "Last Destinations" and hope the one I want is somewhere in my recent list.
Basically what I want isn't possible without recording an audio tag for every address in the list (no thanks). Kind of a bad omission for the voice team.

Yeah, thanks but that's Voice Tag again. It requires you to make a voice recording for every entry. It also involves having to input the addresses again a second time. I have 42 saved addresses.
What I wanted was just to see the existing list and pick one from there using the same method as POI's where it shows them as a numbered list and you just say "Number 4" and you're done.

I think you need some good memory training if you need help getting to places that you've previously visited.

FOUND IT!!!
Mandingo, Actually, I just found the way to do it yesterday.
Start with Phone > Data/Connections > Address Book.
It'll show a list of the vehicle's address book.
Push "mouse" forward and select the first entry.
It'll show the address entered but will also have OPTIONS to the right, and BACK to the left.
Go to Options > Voice Name> Add.
It'll ask you to record the tag twice, will let you listen to it and then store it.
Go back to the next on the list, and add 42 different tags to your 42 addresses.
Once recorded, you can always go back, but instead of ADD, you see CHANGE or DELETE...
A friend watched me doing it and said: "Had my car had this feature, I'd tag my ex as THE B...CH, and then just press the voice command and say Navigate To The B....".
Enjoy!
