Navigation Alerts Mode

Hello Community,

is it actually possible with 15.31 to set the type of notification for navigation? So only vibration, vibration and tone or navigation with voice? I had noticed that only navigation with voice worked in the past no matter what you set...

Best regards

    Hello Community,

    Let me ask differently. Is it currently possible with 15.31 to navigate with only tone with vibration or only vibration (without voice as a navigation hint)?

    Best regards and thanks for your help

    I was walking with different settings and had alerts with or without voice, beeping and vibrations. I don't know exactly which setting caused what results. It is still trying and error.

    Here you can try and error too:

    1. in an activity (e.g.) walking by pressing start > navigation > navigation setting > alerts > of course + guidance alerts on or off. These settings are global for all activities)

    2. in an activity > activity settings > audio output > off

    3. in the watch setting > focus mode > activity >  voice alerts > audio alerts and guidance alerts on/off

    Have fun

    Hello,

    thanks for your answer, … so it is possible, depending on the setting.

    best regards

    after hours of testing, resetting the watch, loosing nerves and getting angry i found out the following:

    When you follow a course with shaping and course points and routing setting is follow route, you hear the voice, even if you switched it off. The is a bug. You can read about it in Fenix 8 and 7 forums. 

    When you follow a course with shaping or course points and  course setting is follow map, you here turn by turn beeps.

    When you follow a course without shaping or course points , you hear turn by turn beeps no matter what the route setting is. This is when you make a course in Garmin Explore mobile (set turn points, but don't edit them, no symbol or name) when you navigate to a favorite, navigating back or navigate  to somewhere by tapping on the map in Garmin Explore mobile.

    Hello empe,

    thank you for your tests.

    I hope it didn't cost you too many nerves.

    Then I hope the bug will be picked up by Garmin and will be fixed.

    Best regards and thank you very much for your detailed help,

    Christoph
