I have a 2022 G80 Prestige. I'm having trouble with setting routes with the "find" command. It doesn't understand many of the addresses. Here's a couple of examples.

When I got the car a month ago, I tried giving it my home address, which is (this is not the real address, but similar to the form) 830 South 9th St., Dallas, Tx. It gives me responses all over the place. Tried various ways of saying it. I finally was able to get it in by saying, "eight hundred thirty south ninth street Dallas comma Texas". Another one I had trouble with was, Aldi's Grocery store, Dallas, Tx. Man, that gave me all kinds of addresses. Tried misprounouncing Aldi. It is a name, and (probably) German, at that. It's supposedly pronounced like All-dee's. I tried Al-dee's, and several other things. I tried spellin Aldi's - "A L D I". Nope. Finally I said "Quote A L D I Quote Dallas Texas" and that worked. Note that Google Assistant on my phone has no trouble understanding either of these addresses. It understands All-dee's, Al-dee's, and even A-L-D-I.

So what's up with that on the infotainment system? Is there a way to improve that?

In general, it sucks. I get the right answer about 70% of the time at best.

As for your home address, I have that programed into the navigation. I just say "go home" and it pops up.

I don't know if this will work in a Genesis, but in our BMW I can say "show nearest Aldi" (or nearest Aldi store) and a list of them comes up with the distances etc. You then just select the one you want and the destination is set. It might be worth a try.
