Default Sync3 voice commands

Hi,
I was wondering if there's a short way to use a voice command to fire up navigation to HOME ?
Are there any other useful voice command shortcuts?

thanks!

Hi ilan,

Here's a link to the available voice commands: https://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-...-commands.html You can also find these in the Owner's manual.

hmm, that didn't work for me. It went to navigation but when I said HOME, it didn't recognize it.

EDIT: I read the document Shaay sent. it looks like I need to say "Destination Home". I'll try that later.

Default Home screen

Is there a voice command to get back to the home screen without hitting the back button two or three times?

I have sync 2 so it may be different, but "destination home" always works for me.

Did saying DESTINATION HOME work for you?

Hi barneyz71,

There isn't a voice command to get you back to the home screen. Great idea though! Please share this on our Social site: Social.Ford.com It's the best place to get your voice heard.

I find sync 3 nav confusing. For example, how hard is it to dictate an address ("take me to 666 ford street"). It should know your current location and should pin point you to the nearest matching address. But, no it always tells me "she didnt quite get that" and proceeds to tell me what I can say.
Also when typing an address manually, whats the proper way on doing that? I try (666 ford street zip code state) with a space between each word. It does not work.

The voice commands for sync are not intuitive in the slightest.
