I've tried mine a few times and probably gave the wrong commands because it comes back with something I didn't want. I find it easier to just use the buttons...especially since I don't really use too many of the functions.
Thanks for the list though.

Find the voice recognition system so difficult to use. It "never" understands what I say, sometimes I can't even guess what it interprets. It is too bad because voice recognition might be great but first of all the button for voice should be on steering wheel(as many others so you don't have to take hand off wheel and glance for button) and then it should work.
I don't use it anymore.

The other day I was showing off the Nav voice commands to a colleague who is thinking about buying a 'Vette. First I said "zoom out" and it responded "zooming out". He was impressed. Then just for grins I said "F*** You!" and it responded something like "displaying amusement and recreation locations"!
We laughed our butts off.
I wonder how many other non-documented commands exist.

No problem. It was really not effort at all. I copied and pasted it from the Navigation Manual. Since then I pasted it into Excel and cleaned it up so it printed out nicely. email me if you'd like a copy...
