Noob question about Nav v. non-Nav
#46
Uhh, what safety feauture are you talking about ??? I can input directions on the fly.... Did they add this feature to the G37 ?? If so, sucks to have a G37 with nav.DOMO
I know it's voice activated. But tell me, how do you use the voice command to search for the closest McDonald's?

I think that is because now it's required or govt making requirement for it Too many young toddlers are being run over while backing up. It's sad but true story.. Pls be careful when backing..

Yes I know other nav systems may display specific icons on the map, but if that’s a shortcoming of our system it really has nothing to do with the nav lockout.

I never use voice commands, I input locations on the fly(while simultaneously keeping my eyes on the road of course). I just did it today because I had a meeting with some people at a local restaurant, I inputted the directions while on the highway(took me 5ish minutes because I am dont just stare straight at it for more than 2-3 seconds).

The real question is how you would find the closest McDonald’s via manual input if you didn’t know its address. And if you do know the address then you can use voice commands. And if you’re really hungry you can at least find the nearest restaurant via voice commands. If one is a McDonald’s then you’ve lucked out.

Like I said in another thread, if they decide to have the lock-out, at least provide some other way to access the data. For example:
1. Provide a "more" command to list more than 5 options
2. Provide a way to enter names via voice, e.g. letter by letter

I believe you can do this by manually entering the restaurant's name, e.g. McDonald, then sort the results by distance. So no address is needed. "McDonald's" is just an example, think about other possibilities.

While driving a G37, if I get a call from friends to meet somewhere. Either I have to quickly enter the place at the stop light, or if on the interstate, I have to use the voice search in google map on the smartphone to get the exact address and somehow input the address into the vehicle's NAV. It is pathetic that Infiniti can not provide a simple way to enter the name through voice command.

I didn't read all posts but obviously nav is a personal preference. I have nav and while it came in handy MANY times for me, I have recently noticed it is a bit pointless now that I have a Droid, which offers superior navigation to the G, has much better traffic, is accessible while in motion, and has much better voice input. The Gs nag seems so outdated in comparison.
