Voice prompts for turn-by-turn navigation.

Former Member over 4 years ago

I have the Fenix 6X PRO (Solar) and expected the watch has options for voice prompt for turn-by-turn navigation by any headset.
I red some quistions about this but not very actual. Does someone (be Garmin) have answers or solutions? TIA

I don't understand what you're asking?

Are you saying you expect the watch to say "Turn Left! Turn Right!" in your headset? Or something else?

Sounds like it. jerhar, no Garmin watches currently support that. Might not be that difficult for Garmin to implement, though; lap announcements are relayed through the Connect app on your phone, so all the components are there, give or take how complicated it is to send a turn message versus a lap message. I don't use directly connected earphones, but AFAIK the lap announcements only work relayed through the phone.

Not a bad idea, either.

Post it here: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/

more likely to stand a chance of being picked up there than here.

Thanks for your answer en knowledge. I will follow your advise and post it as an idea in the Garmin box.
FYI The Lap announcements also work without carrying a phone and without relay.

Thanks - that's good to know if I do get round to hooking 'phones up to my watch!
