Okay - on the left:
Partially cut off button is the cruise control on/off button

1 cruise resume and/or increase speed
2 cruise set

4 enter key? Not really sure what it does

Right side, top to bottom:
1 radio volume increase
2 radio volume decrease

large button appears to be some sort of blutooth or the like that lets your phone play through your speakers, maybe?

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to GTO again.

Drat!!!!!!

Just logged on here for the first time today, and saw a thread with "property tax" in it. And I was right...started by mtown.
 
I have found that swearing at my voice activated nav system is not an effective way to make it shut up. Calmly, and with careful enunciation, you must say "Cancel Route Guidance" and then carefully respond with a "Yes" when it asks if that is what you want to do. It really should be programed to respond to JUST SHUT THE **** UP or just STOP DAMMIT. When I say route I cannot remember which but it likes root or rowt. Likes one and not the other.

The first talking GPS we used was one our son had, that he insisted we use when we went to visit him at Quantico. He also insisted on using the voice mode. Driving up to DC from Quantico, it took us up Hwy 1 instead of I95/I395. Stop lights & stop & go traffic the whole way - and we could SEE the interstate off to the west in places. Lew was driving, the GPS was talking, Lew was trying to have me get directions from our Rand McNally, son was saying no, LISTEN TO HER. It was NOT a pleasant trip, and we began to refer to her as the "Dashboard beyotch". After he went back to base & his wife & kids flew home we had a few more days to explore on our own before our flight...so we decided to drive to Philadelphia, then NYC...just because. Son insisted we take the beyotch with us. As soon as we were far enough away, she was removed from the dashboard and stowed under the seat. :)

When Lew decided to buy one for us, it had a male voice. So we named it Dash Bahstad in honor of his predecessor. :)
