.Automatic rerouting might
display a route returning to the
set waypoint if heading for a
destination without passing
through a set waypoint.
. The route prohibits the entry of a
vehicle due to a regulation by
time or season or any other
regulation which may be given.
. Some routes might not be
searched.
. The route to the destination
might not be shown if there are
new roads, if roads have
recently changed, or if certain
roads are not listed in the map
data. See Maps030.
To recalibrate the vehicle's position
on the map, park with the vehicle
running for two to five minutes, until
the vehicle position updates. Make
sure the vehicle is parked in a
location that is safe and has a clear
view of the sky and away from large
obstructions.If the System Needs
Service
If the navigation system needs
service and the steps listed here
have been followed but there are
still problems, see your dealer.
Map Data Updates
The map data in the vehicle is the
most up-to-date information
available when the vehicle was
produced. The map data is updated
periodically, provided that the map
information has changed.
For questions about the operation of
the navigation system or the update
process, contact the GM Nav Disc
Center toll-free phone number,
1-877-NAV-DISC (1-877-628-3472)
or go to the center ’s website,
www.gmnavdisc.com. If updates are
needed, call the GM Nav Disc
Center or order online.
To order, have the vehicle’s Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN)
available. This helps the center
make sure that the correct and most up-to-date map data for the vehicle
is received. See
“Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN)” in the
owner ’s manual.
Over-the-Air Vehicle Map
Updates
If equipped, the infotainment system
can receive map updates over the
air. Map updates occur within a
161 km (100 mi) radius around the
home address on file. This
boundary will adjust over time
based on driving patterns. The
vehicle uses a Cloud-connected
service to receive the data and
downloads it to the system’s
onboard SD card, if equipped. The
SD card is required for navigation
system function.
When a map update is available, a
prompt will appear on the
infotainment display. Once the
update is accepted, it will download
and run in the background without
interrupting any infotainment
functions. The download will carry
over ignition cycles, stopping and

Voice Recognition 55
Voice Recognition
Voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, phone, and
weather applications. This feature
can be started by pressing
gon the
steering wheel controls or by
touching the
gicon on the
infotainment display.
However, not all features within
these areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two touches such as
selecting a song or artist to play
from a media device would be
supported by voice commands.
Other tasks, like adjusting the
volume or seeking up or down are
audio features that are easily
performed by pressing one or two
controls, and are not supported by
voice commands. In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks. Most of them, except
destination entry and voice keypad,
can be completed in a single
command. If the task takes more
than one command to complete, the
first command should be to indicate
the kind of task to be performed, like
“Navigation Destination Entry.”
The
system replies with prompts that
lead you through a dialog to enter
the necessary information. For
example, if a destination for route
guidance is needed, say
“Navigation” or“Destination Entry.”
If your language supports it, try
stating a One-Shot command, such
as “Navigate to Address
type of destination entry command
is supported in some languages.
Another example of a One-Shot
Destination Entry command is,
“Navigate to Place of Interest –
Hotels.” If these commands don’t
work, try saying, “Navigate to Place
of Interest” or“Navigate to Address”
and the system will for the rest. Voice recognition can be used when
the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See
“Retained Accessory Power
(RAP)” in the owner ’s manual.
Hybrid Speech Recognition
If equipped, this feature helps
distinguish words by using
Internet-based information along
with the system’ s voice recognition
database. This allows you to speak
more naturally when using voice
recognition.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been
initialized. This begins when the
ignition is turned on. Initialization
may take a few moments.
1. Press
gon the steering wheel
controls to activate voice
recognition, or touch the
gicon
on the infotainment display.
2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a prompt
followed by a beep.

56 Voice Recognition
3. Wait until after the beepcompletes, then clearly speak
one of the commands
described in this section.
Press
gto interrupt any voice
recognition system prompt. For
example, if the prompt seems
to be taking too long to finish,
press
gagain and the beep
should happen right away.
There are two voice prompt modes
supported:
. Long verbal prompts: The longer
prompts provide more
information regarding the
supported actions.
. Short prompts: The short
prompts provide simple
instructions about what can be
stated.
If a command is not spoken, the
voice recognition system says a
help prompt. Prompts and Screen Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there will be corresponding
options displayed. Manual
interaction in the voice recognition
session is permitted. Interaction
during a voice session may be
completed entirely using voice
commands, or some selections may
expedite a session. If a selection is
made using a manual control, the
dialog will progress in the same way
as if the selection was made
through a voice command. Once the
system is able to complete the task,
or the session is terminated, the
voice recognition dialog stops.
An example of this type of manual
intervention is touching an entry of a
displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
.
Touch the Home Page. Touching
this display will terminate a voice
recognition session which was
initiated by touching this option
on the infotainment display. .
Touch or say “Cancel”or“Exit”
to terminate the voice
recognition session and show
the display from which voice
recognition was initiated.
. Press
Ron the steering wheel
controls to terminate the voice
session and show the display
from which voice recognition
was initiated.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are either naturally
stated in sentence form, or direct
commands that state the application
and the task.
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
For best results:
. Listen for the prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or reply.

Chevrolet Corvette MyLink Infotainment System(GMNA-Localizing-U.S./
Canada-12145685) - 2019 - crc - 4/16/18
Voice Recognition 57
.Say “Help” or look at the display
for example commands.
. A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted while
it is playing by pressing
g.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, to speak the command
without waiting for the prompt to
complete, press
g.
. Speak the command naturally,
not too fast, not too slow. Use
direct commands without a lot of
extra words.
. Usually Phone and Audio
commands can be spoken in a
single command.
For example say, “Call
at work,” “Play” followed by the
artist or song name, or “Tune To”
followed by the radio station
number.
. Navigation destinations are too
complex for a single command.
First, say a command that
explains the type of destination
needed, such as I want directions to an
“Address,”
“Navigate to an Intersection,” “I
need to find a Place of Interest
or POI,” or“Directions to a
Contact.” The system responds
by requesting more details. After
saying “Place of Interest,” only
major chains are available by
name. Chains are businesses
with at least 20 locations. For
other POIs, say the name of a
category like “Restaurants,”
“Shopping Malls,” or“Hospitals.”
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
There is no need to memorize
specific command words. Direct
commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be “Call
Examples of these direct commands
are displayed on most of the
displays while a voice session is
active. If “Phone”or“Phone Commands,”
is stated, the system
understands that a phone call is
requested and will respond with
questions until enough details are
gathered.
If the phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include
both, for example “Call
at work.”Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt will ask to confirm or select
an option from that list. A selection
can be made by manually touching
the item, or by speaking the line
number for that item.
When a display contains a list, there
may be options that are available
but not displayed. The list on a
voice recognition display functions
the same as a list on other displays.
Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from
the list.

Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a display during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and
displays the prompt“Make your
selection from the list using the
manual controls, press
oBACK on
the center stack, or touch the Back
icon on the infotainment display to
try again.”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out.
The display returns back to the
display where voice recognition was
initiated.
The Back Command
Say “Back” or press
oBACK on
the center stack, or touch the Back
icon on the infotainment display to
go to the previous display.
If in voice recognition, and “Back”is
stated all the way through to the
initial display, then “Back”is stated
one more time, the voice recognition
session will cancel. Help
Say
“Help” on any voice recognition
display and the help prompt for the
display is played. Additionally, a
pop-up displays a text version of the
help prompt. Depending on how
voice recognition was initiated, the
Help pop-up will either display on
the instrument cluster or the
infotainment display. Touch Dismiss
to make the pop-up go away.
Pressing
gwhile the help prompt is
playing will terminate the prompt
and a beep will be heard. Doing this
will stop the help prompt so that a
voice command can be used.
