Yes. I am by my nature, very honest.

So that is a CHOICE Apple has made; most likely because they want you to
not interact with a touchscreen unless there is no other way.

So? How is that relevant?

Yup. iOS. Map screen, tap text entry box, tap microphone icon in keyboard.

Stop mixing these two things up.

Because, you incredible simpleton:

SIRI IS NOT JUST VOICE RECOGNITION.

You can use Siri while you happen to be looking at the Maps app...

....because Siri can do other things!

You're not using Google's equivalent of Siri when you tap the microphone
icon from within Google maps. That is equivalent to tapping the
microphone icon in Apple

So, just by retraining "Hey Siri", you should know that Siri does a lot
more than just allow you to get directions.

And you said "Go to" when I EXPLICITLY told you what to say:

>> How about you simply make a video including your voice saying:
>>
>> "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".

Why? Because you are a liar done to your core.

Note an issue that you need to consider:

Can Siri tell if you said:

"go to one two nine nine nine"

or

"go two one two nine nine nine"

....hmmm?

And show a different outcome for your home address...

....because you used a different method to invoke Siri.

You it the "Search" button within the Maps app, so Siri already knows
that whatever you say next is going to be a destination. The clue was
Siri saying "Directions to where?".

And "Corsair Field, Danville Indiana" is a VERY obscure CLUB. Not a
business at all.

"Indianapolis R/C flyers, [mumble]town" is actually called "Indianapolis
R/C MODELLERS", but that was just an error on your part, right, Little Shit?

And this isn't about Siri being perfect. It's about you (now)
deliberately misusing it to try to "prove" your points.

But you'd better use Google Maps in CarPlay while you're parked, him...

....anyone can see how long your attention would have to be on a
touchscreen rather than on the road.

As for not finding "baker media vancouver"...

....the only possible purpose for that is your continued attempt to
stalk/dox me.

And Siri's successes and failures have NOTHING to do with whether you
are inside or outside your garage.

If you think any of this is at all based on "cell reception", you're not
just a liar... ...you're an ignoramus. Siri, Apple Maps (and not it
isn't "Apple Maps in Siri"; that's just another stunning
misunderstanding of what is going on) and Google Maps both use
voice-to-text processing to convert what you say into text and then used
their designed processes to search their respective databases for an answer.

Apple's location database doesn't have "Corsair Field, Danville Indiana"
in it. It has nothing to with Siri whatsoever. Try typing it in on your
iPad or iPhone and you'll get precisely the same result.

Now,

How about you simply make a video including your voice saying:

"Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".

And how about you admit that I showed you a video of my iPhone working
perfectly. (Although, I do admit that it gets confused by
"Carmel"—because of "Carmel-by-the-sea" being so much closer to me—and
so I say "Indianapolis")

But my bet is that you did try out my explicit instructions and they DID
work.

So that's why you deliberately set out to make Siri fail by saying "go to".

One thing that I will say to you (much more for the benefit of others)
is that you can vary how long Siri will wait for to keep speaking (how
long you can pause while you collect your thoughts) but you need to find
that under Settings:Accessibility:Siri, not under "Siri & Search" (which
is a little dumb).

BTW, you can turn on the option to have Siri always show what it has
interpreted as what you spoke. When I did that for your "go to/two/too
one two nine nine nine pennsylvania street", it shows very quickly what
happened.

Also, BTW. Siri would happily give you "driving directions to manor care
carmel indiana" (replying "Getting driving directions to HCR
ManorCare..." And despite all the obscure little clubs Apple Maps didn't
have data for, you somehow just overlooked that option, huh?

Also, also, BTW, your vaunted Google Maps fails utterly to find YOUR
business... ...even if I type it in so there can be no error. "FXXXXXXN LLC"

Interesting you were happy to dox me, but didn't want to show that in
your video, did you?
