My F90BT isn't installed yet so I cannot currently speak about the operation first hand, but I found some information about voice navigation I thought might be helpful.

Online Operation manual:

Basics of Voice Operation

Your Pioneer navigation system uses the latest

in voice recognition technology. You can use

voice commands to operate many of its functions.

This chapter describes where you can

use voice commands, and also what commands

the system accepts.

Flow of voice operation

You can start voice operation any time even

when the map screen is displayed or audio is

operating. (Some operations are not available.)

The basic steps of voice operations are as

follows.

1 Switch the screen to map screen or AV

operation screen.

= For details concerning operations, refer to

Screen switching overview on page 18.

2 Press MULTI-CONTROL to activate voice

operations.

3 Speak a command into the microphone

after the beep.

4 When the command is recognized, the

navigation system displays next options on

the screen, and pronounces it in some cases.

5 Repeat previous step as necessary.

6 The requested operation will be carried

out.

p The voice operation may not be operable for a

minute after the navigation system has booted

I received my F90BT June 13 from Louisville, KY.

I spoke with a Pioneer Nav Tech a few days ago about the maximum capacities and was told that indeed the SD is limited to 8GB but that the USB was working presently up to 32GB and may be better later.

He couldn't confirm that the capacity will eventually be increased up to 250GB like previous models, or that it will be upgradable through the SD card, only that it might be possible in the future, maybe.

I am personally more interested in using a large capacity Ipod so that I can take advantage of the voice recognition system. I hope that it works as well as they advertise. My F90BT should be here tomorrow and I am anxious to experiment for myself.
