No you can't tell the GPS to go away, as tom tom releases a GPS you can give voice commands to
GPS manufacturer TomTom is introducing a new top-of-the-range model product line-up with the TomTom GO 920 T that will also accept voice recognition commands. The 4GB satnav will come with preinstalled maps covering Europe and North America but shortly after there will be an Australian version released.
The new device from TomTom's called the GO 920 T features a voice-recognition function to allow the users to enter destination instructions rather than having to punch in commands on the device's touchscreen.
Sadly, it doesn't sound as though there's the capability to tell the new TomTom that you know perfectly well that you should have taken the last turn, thanks very much, but you will be able to go your own way, recording your own driving instructions for routes.
Nokia earlier this year released its base model GPS phone called the Nokia N6110 Navigator, which I have been testing myself over the past few months, whilst it’s a little clunky it is an effective means for traveling easily. Whilst its navigation facility does not accept voice commands it does accept voice commands for accessing its telephone databases and other items on the phone.
