        "text": "In busy cities like Los Angeles or New York, spoken search can struggle with street noise and crowd chatter.\nYou’ll get better results by using headphones with a mic or speaking indoors before starting navigation.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- High ambient noise from traffic and people\n- Echo in large open spaces or transit hubs\n- Distance between your mouth and the microphone\n- Choice of assistant and device hardware\n\nBefore relying on voice outdoors, test a few queries near your usual routes and adjust your habits—shorter commands, closer mic, pausing in a quieter doorway.\nFor critical tasks like complex route planning, set things up inside, then rely on voice for minor adjustments mid-journey.",
