Voice input to nav
Ok, I have owned the car for two or three months now, I can't believe I havn't asked this or figured it out myself yet (completely forgot).
When I was in the dealer the other day looking at the MDX I overheard a sales person telling somebody you could talk to the nav to put the full address you want to go to without having to use the knob. I vaugly remember this from even before I bought the RL.
So, without flaming me (for not knowing) how exactly do you do this? Just push the voice button and say the street name (in the address input screen)?

If I had to spell everything out, I wouldn't use it either.

It isn't difficult and worth learning unless you have some accent that it has difficulty with. I haven't had any problems.

So when at the address input screen I can just say a street name correct? I don't need to be in any other special menu. If it is like that - speaking a whole street then that is awesome. I can't believe I forgot about that feature.

I've used it speaking the name of the city, followed by the name of the street, followed by the digits one by one (the hardest part). You can also speak the intersection of two streets.
After speaking the city name or street name, it gives a list of closest matches. Most of the time the street I was trying to get is the first choice in th e list.
Very cool feature...

I have found that it understands me most of the time and that the correct choice is usually on the first screen of alternatives it gives me for a match. (As opposed to my Honda Odyssey which rarely understands the audio input). It does take some time to get used to it. However, it is one of the few systems that I feel safe using while driving with the audio inputs because I don't have to continually look at the screen.
