Can App Radio 3 do this with Siri Free or through an app?

All I really want to do speak into the mic and say: "navigate to the nearest Starbucks" or "directions to 123 Main St, New York, NY"

...and have a route calculated that avoids traffic.

...and continue playing mp3's in the background...

Does AppRadio3 do this? Please say yes.

wrong questions, appradio can do it (with appex or arliberator) if the navigation software on your phone supports it and your phone is rooted/jailbroken

This can be done with the stock Maps app but you will get no full screen landscape and no control from the unit. Of course that would kind of defeat the purpose of the App Radio in the first place. However as the other member above mentioned, if you are jailbroken and use App Radio Extensions you can install an extension that will allow you to use Siri commands to the Waze app which does allow full screen and control.

Oh bummer. Why can't the stock appradio just do this? I wish I could jailbrake my phone, but I can't because it's work-issued.

how should appradio do that when the navigation app is installed on the phone and not on the radio?!
