I bought a 1050 and gave my wife my 1040 thinking voice nav would get more love... Even after updating my android phone to 5.17.2 I put the course creator to the test while sitting on my bike outside.
I created a 5 mile course sitting outside on my bike directly on the 1050 with all voice prompts on and everything started great, I was getting turn by turn voice nav via my shokz open run 2's.. About 10 minutes in the turn by turn voice nav stopped and only gave beeps. Needless to say, I'm frustrated.. Everything else was working, my music was playing into my shokz via my phones spotify, my varia was giving nice loud radar alerts into my shokz, but the garmin audio turn by turn alerts stopped about half way through..
Please explain this??? I thought this was fixed??? Why on earth would it just stop? I downloaded a new map of North America last night because it said I needed to update it.. Should I go into the garmin folder on my PC and Garmin Express and try deleting the prompt folder contents again? I did it just to be safe when I first got the 1050 a few days ago.. Could it be the 12 gig North American map download messed up the prompt folder again, or is this just the same old bug.. I'm super upset about this, I'm at wits' end with Garmin... I guess I was a fool to purchase the 1050 thinking things would be different..
One thing of note, when I finished my ride and opened my phone and looked at connect it had a greyed out screen with the text in the middle of my screen saying "voice prompt in process" ... Also, when I pushed the bottom to stop activity I didn't get any voice messages like "activity started, or finished" ETC..
