Voice Languages and Devices Compatible with Traditional Voice Command

Voice-activated navigation is a feature on some Garmin devices that allows you to use the device by speaking voice commands aloud.  This is also referred to as Voice Control and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). 

Your device is compatible with Garmin's traditional voice command, which operates using a series of commands in a step-by-step manner.

Note: The text and voice language settings on the device must be the same as the language you'll be using with Voice Command. The selected voice language must also be one that is labeled to support text-to-speech (TTS), Street Names, or Garmin Real Directions™. Both spoken directions and voice command prompts will be in the voice that is selected. 

These Voice Languages are Compatible with Automatic Speech Recognition on Compatible Devices:

  • Chinese (Mandarin)
  • Danish

For complete instructions on how to change language settings and how to access voice command on your specific device, refer to the device's owner's manual.

Voice-activated navigation will only work in map regions that came preloaded on a device, regardless of the voice language selected. Although additional maps can be purchased for other regions, voice-activated navigation will not function when navigating in these non-preloaded regions. 

Other conditions apply.  For troubleshooting see Voice Command Isn't Working on an Automotive Device.
