In the Camaro, the directions are not given by a live voice over the speaker. It's a computer voice. Not only that but the turn by turn directions are ALSO displayed in the Driver Information Center. Which to me is a little better due to the fact that your eyes only have to be off the road to look at the DIC as opposed to the usual stereo location.

This has already been covered in another thread with pics of the DIC:

Here's also a link to the Onstar page for three vids on how exactly it works:
