How do you say "Directions" to Siri?

How do you say "directions" to Siri? No matter how I say it, Siri will say "I'm sorry Peter, but I don't know what you mean by "direct actions"". Or, Siri will say "I'm sorry Peter but I don't know what you mean by "diet actions"".

Here is another one. How do you say "airport"? Siri thinks that I am saying Apple. So, if I ask "give me directions to the airport" it will give me directions to Apple in Cupertino.

I know that Siri is STILL in beta, but come on! I cannot even go to an Apple store with this, because I am using T-Mobile (I've had an unlocked iPhone 5 since the day it was released, last November) and Apple stores are surrounded by aluminium and they do not yet have the T-Mobile repeater!

Hey pforkes,

We have a troubleshooting article for Siri that you can find here:

iOS: Troubleshooting Siri

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4079

I'd take a look at the section titled "Ensure that Siri can clearly hear you," which might help you out. We also have a more general About Siri article that provides some tips for using it.

Hope that helps,

David
