"Until someone creates a voice controlled system that responds to the wake phrase "Computer" and responds in the voice of Majel Barrett Im not buying anything."
Not sure if there's a Majel Barret voice for Garmin SatNavs, but you can set your own wake up word. I did set it to "computer" for a while but the word "computer" comes up on the radio often enough to make that a problem. Especially since the speech recognition for commands is actually quite basic so words which sound even a little like the command can cause actions once triggered. eg I discovered that the vowel sounds "O" as in "comp", "OO" as in "ook" and "A" as in "sat" spoken in the right cadence to sound vaguely like "computah" would trigger voice mode. Once in voice mode, various commands may then be acted on by normal conversation/sounds/voice on the radio, but at least most require an eventual "Yes" to complete.
