Voice address input on TT 910?
Is there any reason that I can't DL & install the 920 or other TT software on my 910 so I can use the Voice address input feature? I have plenty of HD space on it. Thanks!

I'd suggest it isn't worth it. Having looked at the list of things you can say, it doesn't add a lot. As I was explaining to my son this morning, you can, if you wish, tap the voice command button, wait for the sound, say "repeat last instruction" (or something like that), then wait for the confirmation "did you mean repeat last instruction", then say "Yes", then it will tell you the last instruction. Or you could just tap the last instruction and have it immediately.

Sure, "Navigate to home" is nice, but even "navigate to favourite" just gives you a list to tap with no voice selection.

So, apart from the fact that the 910 isn't supported by the new firmware, I think it isn't something to waste time trying to hack for.

WOW if this is true than thanks for the info! I thought I could say "nav me to 123 Main Street in Anytown USA" and avoid all the button pushing?

Didn't reailze it was that limited.

It does have an option to enter a dialog to any address, but it is quite cumbersome overall.
