I was looking thru the 08 US online owners manual and there are instructions for entering navigation addresses by full name voice command (i.e. it appears as though you can say the name "Boston" in the city input field and the system will look for a match).
Is this something that's new for 08 or maybe for the new progman 25? I had never seen or heard of it before.

So you're saying that you can input a city or street by speaking the city or street's full name? Cool.
Slow, but cool.
