36. A method for speech recognition using tiles, each tile defines an area on the surface of the earth and the defined area is a more or less symmetrical shape defined by a coordinate system and can have a spatially proximate relationship to other tiles, the method comprising: one or more processors using a place grammar to output a candidate area location associated with a wireless device; one or more processors using a point coordinate database to output a point coordinate associated with the candidate area location; choosing an initial tile from a set of tiles, the initial tile having an associated first speech recognition grammar, the initial tile having a relationship to the point coordinate; choosing a plurality of additional tiles, the plurality of additional tiles having a spatially proximate relationship to the initial tile, and an associated second speech recognition grammar; and providing a text-based representation of a feature from the first or the second grammar to a geocoding module, the feature matching a spoken location description of a first level identifier from a user, wherein the spoken location description matches an audio file associated with a feature name from the first or the second grammar.

The method of claim 36 wherein the step of using a place grammar to output a candidate area location further comprises: prompting an individual for the candidate area location; receiving an utterance from the individual of the general location; and comparing the utterance against the place grammar.
