Audible notification before a change of direction

I had another GPS before and found the audible notification before a junction extremely practical. I have searched all the menus on my 1040 and I can't find any option.

Is it possible to have an audible notification before a direction change? It sucks to have the notification after...

I'm doing long distance and looking the gps at every intersection is just not practical

If you mean Audio Prompts it’s a function in the GC mobile app (More>Garmin devices>[Select your Edge]>Activity Options>Audio Prompts).

Otherwise, it’s just system beeps. Embedded Course Point notifications only pop up when their GPS location has been reached and allowing for error and calculation lag, it means that it happens after the point has been passed.

One workaround is to use the Course Pt Distance data field to give a countdown distance to the next point, so you know whether it’s 10km or 100m away.
