Turn off voice prompts from phone when navigating

Hi,

For some reason (after update 17.1) my wife’s phone has started to voice audio prompts of POI’s on a course we’re following.

It’s an iPhone and had Garmin Connect closed at the time. 
I’ve check a few settings and they’re the same as mine though mine didn’t start talking to me on our run!!

Any idea where this option would be? Thanks.

  • This is simply outrageous and sad, at the same time. It's clearly an issue with 'product owners (or similar)' that vouch for these changes that do not use these features or devices at all. It is so annoying, and option to have only 'both or neither' is so dumb. Please make these separate options and no one will complain anymore.

  • Garmin doesn't seem to read or care about the forums, so posting here is like screaming into the void. If you are upset about this, I reccomend emailing [email protected] and clearly explaining the issue. 

    Maybe we can hope that Garmin decides to move voice nav into a paid feature for Connect+! And then it will go away for us!

    LOL

  • I've turned off audio prompts on both the app and watch. However they continue in pacepro. How do i stop this?

  • There are dozens of open threads in the forums with people having the same issue. I really also do not understand how hard it is to simply add a setting to enable or disable voice navigation. What is so difficult about that?!

  • I have the same issue, on my forerunner 255s.

    Was considering an upgrade (for maps), but after stumbling upon this thread and seeing how it's being handled, I will look into other brands.

    It just doesn't make sense that questions are still being asked by Garmin. The issue is extremely simple: there is just no setting for audio navigation. And the solution is extremely simple as well: just add "navigation" under "audio prompts" in settings.

    For all watches. I don't have this male/female voice selection some mention here on my model, and I don't care, because I don't want any audio from my watch ever. But i do want the vibration alerting me to a direction change.
