I was playing around with S-Voice on the Galaxy Note II, looking up places like Walmart, Walgreens and the S-Voice gave me the results that are at least 20 miles away... What the heck?!?

So nobody has this problem but me eh? Or does everyone else use Google Now instead of S-Voice?

I rarely use either.  I use S-Voice for hands free dialing and that's it, and Google Now only when I am expecting packages.

Aikidoo - S-Voice is pretty sweet! I also have a few tips to offer when it comes to that feature too! First let's help S-Voice pin point your location better. Start from your Home Screen>Press your Menu Key>Select Settings>Choose Location Services> Turn on all three options for Location Services. S-Voice needs these active in order to better locate you and offer the best recommended destinations/searches.

I performed a few tests here on my side, and originally I was getting the same issue you were encountering. As soon as they were activated, its searches were much more accurate versus being a general search! Something I discovered too is that it helps to be a bit more descriptive. If you say, "What is the closest *fastfood name*? It will give you a general local search. If you say, "What is the closest *restaurant/fastfood place* to me? It actually gives you the closest location! Pretty neat!

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you Aikidood, enjoy and take care!
