Navigation Destination Entry By Voice

Destination entry uses phonetic transcriptions of the navigation data (stored as part of the map data) to offer the user the ability to enter an address or postcode into the Navigation system by voice. The user simply follows the visual and audible instructions given by the voice system and enters their desired address in a step-by-step manner (e.g. city, then street, then house number). At each address entry stage, the user's voice command is matched against the phonetic map data and a list of likely recognition candidates is presented in a "picklist" for the user to select from. If the chosen address has more than one location associated with it, the voice system will work with the user to determine the exact address they wish to navigate to.
