Tips on Speaking Voice Commands No response to commands - If the navigation unit is not responding to your commands, first try relocating the Magellan Maestro so the microphone is closer and/or pointed towards you. Wind noise and talk radio stations can "confuse" the voice recognition software, so turn off the radio and roll up your windows. The most common speech recognition problem people have is answering a question before the navigator has stopped speaking. The speech input circuits are inactive while the navigator is outputting speech. To avoid this problem, wait for at least one half second before answering a navigator question. Turn down the radio, especially when listening to talk radio stations. This problem occurs very often in summer when the air conditioning is turned up high. Turn down the fan or reposition the Magellan Maestro. · · · Voice Control 14 · Roll up the window if road noise is too high. In some cars, the interior noise increases dramatically with car speed.
