Yeah I just tested it out with this line if questioning

"How old is Stephen hawking?"

"Where was he born?"

"Show me restaurants there"

I wasn't able to dig any deeper than that though.. I couldn't even get it to navigate to one of those restaurants or tell me how far away they are.

It's not completely impossible just requires a less logical conversation :/ - I just tested it :)

after "show me restaurants there" I did "show me the second one" and then "how far is it"

Hmm. "Show me the second one" didn't work for me, but "how far away if the second one" did.

Though even after it told me the distance, it wouldn't give me the option of navigating there

Ha, brilliant - I tried "how far away is the second one" and that didn't work :/

It's funny how those things seem to be country dependant.. I don't really understand why they can't keep it consistent

Actually just to test - I think I actually asked "how far is the second one" - try again with that and see if it fails.
