Voice commands coming to your GPS

By the end of this year, you may be able to use voice commands for your GPS. Take me to the nearest coffee shop!

Some factory-installed GPS already tout voice commands, and even some after market devices are beginning to get into the act. Before long, we may see this feature integrated into other manufacturers’ devices.

At the Consumer Electronics Show last week, Voice Box was showing off its superior technology, which recognizes natural language queries. And according to PC World, the "company’s voice technology will be incorporated in standard-size GPS products and car radios from manufacturers yet to be announced."

I can’t wait!
