Voice Recognition
The Magellan Maestro includes voice recognition software providing a means by which you can control many of the
functions hands-free.
IMPORTANT
Screens that can accept voice commands will have a listening icon displayed at the bottom of the screen
when voice commands can be given. When the screen first appears there is a slight delay before commands can
be given. A beep will prompt you when commands will be accepted. Additionally, ‘listening’ is paused while route
directions are being spoken. You need to wait until the route voice command ends and you are prompted with the
beep before giving commands.

1. From the Main Menu screen, tap the Settings icon.
