Voice commands problems

Post by richjonesCool4
Have tried to use voice commands on Waze with the hope that I might change destination whilst driving. I have got it working fine but if I say take me to Coleford, for example, I get a list like a normal Google search. All the local shops are included along with many other possibilities.

Even if Coleford is on the list I have no way of selecting it hands free.
Similarly, postcodes show up but no way to select hands free.

Google Drive seems to have it working a treat. I say OK Google, Navigate to suschandsuch and I'm on my way.

Am I doing something wrong or is this the way it is.

From my limited experience of of using ASR, you have to be specific to avoid it returning a search results list. Unless they are saved under Home or Work.

"Drive to Lichfield" > Returns search list

"Drive to Upper St. John Street" > Returns search list

"Drive to 100 Upper St. John Street" > Repeats address and asks for verbal confirmation > Plans and starts navigation.

As for postcodes, as Waze doesn't store these they will only ever get returned as a search result, pulled from Google data.
