It's extra work (trying to remember it), but it works (almost) all of the time.
Other differentiating terms I use are house and home, office and work, etc.
Try not using any word that sounds like a word that you've already used...that's the easy part.
Try remembering the names...that's the hard part!
The issue is and has been for the past year that background noise interfers with the voice recognition. If the car is motionless, no radio, no a/c then it will work. This car has been to the dealer for probably 40 hours to fix this, no repair has worked.
I've suggested a total replacement of the unit, now with the touch screen messed up they may pull it and install a new unit.
