Widget that turns the generally audio promts OFF or ON.

Can someone develop a widget that turns the audio promts hidden in the settings off or on?
It would of course be best if this switch could be installed in the rotating "control" menu.

The audio promts can unfortunately only be set generally spanning.
That means they apply to all apps.

Example:
You have to go in to the settings every time before hiking and switch off the audio promts for the ∅pace and after the hiking you have in to go again in to the settings and switch on the audio promts, because normaly you use this audio promts for the daily running trainings.
This is annoying and could be simplified with a little widget.

Technically, this place is about ConnectIQ app ideas. What you are suggesting is not currently possible as a ConnectIQ…

Don believe this is available for ConnectIQ to use. This is a Garmin Connect Mobile featuer

Maybe developers from GARMIN are reading along.

This area is for 3rd party (CIQ) developers, not Gamin developers.

If I wanted to suggest something in the watch firmware, I would certainly have used your linked site.
However, I wanted to express my suggestion to the developers of Connect IQ, so I posted my request here.

For the time being, it is just an idea.
Everything else can then be invented around it.
That is the meaning and purpose of ideas and a forum.

And it's something that can't be done in CIQ. There's no access to these settings in CIQ.

That's why I pointed you to the FW folks as it would need to be done there.

All statements by pessimists, no imagination, hopes and visions.

I'm someone that knows CIQ inside and out, and have been using it for over 5 years. In general, CIQ can at most read settings from a device, but can't change them. In this case, the current setting can't even be read.

For about 20,000 years, no one has run a marathon under 2 hours.

You have now clearly stated three times that it does not work directly with CIQ. Believe me, everyone understood.
But that is not the point. This place is about ideas, visions, suggestions.
One builds on the other. Perhaps there are other options that in particular YOU don't think of .
To talk badly all the time and just to say "I know my way around and that doesn't work" is a step backwards, blocks visions and prevents further developments.
I have definitely not addressed you in my post. Believe me.

Use the link I posted and make a suggestion to Garmin.

MaxR6 over 5 years ago in reply to jim_m_58

I made this suggestion a long time ago.
Unfortunately, you were not informed of this.
