As I'm sure you're all aware, the Tom-Tom voice recognition is absolutely horrible. Well, it's passable for addresses, but useless for POI names. Here's a short YouTube video I put together. I ask it for a Dairy Queen five times, and it fails all five times. I then ask a Garmin Nuvi and it gets it on the first try.

 
Hey if you need to find a word that rhymes with something, Mazda Tom Tom is there for you. I should use it to write a poem
 
It does seem to find a lot of names that rhyme with other things - and then it comes up with things that don't even sound remotely like what I'm looking for.

For Dairy Queen, I've had it ask me if I want to find:

The nearest tennis court
A Ben Franklin store
J.C. Penney
Burger King
Kramerica Bank - I've never heard of it - I think it might be from Seinfeld
ATM Bank Machine
Money Tree
