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.

produce noise that interferes with the microphone.
