Having been on a couple of road trips here at the end of the year, I can
absolutely tell you the voice search integration in the Navigation rocks.
It's understood me over moderate noise, and found the destinations I was
looking for (and in one case, since I was looking for Post Offices along our
route, it highlighted them until I had another search).

I've been meaning to get the car dock, because it is obvious to me now how
much better this is to my sweetie's dedicated GPS.
