I have all my contacts in Gmail (just for this purpose) with Syncing GMail contacts enabled and Background Data Enabled.

It works fine for Voice Calling. But it refuses to work for Voice Navigation (on BT Headset or Handset). I cannot say Navagate to Fred Smith at Work (it will prompt with a bunch of crap it found on the web once it enters Navigation Application). But I can say Call Fred Smith at Work.

There is a thread here and other folks can't get it to work either.
