I only started noticing this after IOS 9 and of course 9.1. Whenever you ask siri where the nearest point of interest is, it only says the name of the place and nothing more. It fails to mention the address, and how far away it is from your current location. For instance, when I ask where's the nearest burger king is, it only says the nearest one I found is burger King and nothing more.
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks.

Re: SIRI and nearest points of interest
Usually when you ask SIRI a question, she/he will respond with a quick answer to your question.
You will almost always see, however, that more information comes up on the screen than SIRI actually speaks. You can read this additional info with VO in the usual way.
For example, when I ask where the nearest sub shop is, SIRI speaks the name and its popularity from Yelp.
On the screen there is a bunch of text that SIRI doesn't speak. This includes the sub shop's hours for each day of the week, the web site, the address, etc.
so,you do get the info you want, but SIRI doesn't speak all of it.
If you really want SIRI to speak additional info sometimes you can ask follow up questions like "what is the address?"

Siri and nearby points of interest
Hi Peter,
The point I was trying to make was that siri use to speak all that other information IE address, and how far away it is on IOS 8.4. Such information is appear no longer to be spoken. I'm not sure if this was simply a change made by apple or a bug of some sort.
Hmmm...
Hello,
You’re right. Before, I would ask Siri to look up stores and the response I would get is the store name, address and approximate distance from my location. Now it just tells me the name and approximate distance.
Interesting. I hope they change it back to the way it was. It’s funny how you don’t realize how helpful something is until it’s gone.
