Can the 'Nice Jump!' notifications be turned off?

I find these 'Nice Jump!' notifications to be annoying and excessive. I think the mountain bike metrics are cool and don't mind having them available to review post-ride, but the persistent beeping can get old on sections where they basically go off non stop.

The only way around this I've found is to change the activity type to something other than 'Mountain Bike' in the Activity Profile. The annoyance with this for me is that my mountain bike rides sync to TrainingPeaks as road bike rides and I have to go in and manually change them.

Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the notifications?

I don’t have an answer to this either, but came to the forum looking for the exact same thing. I also found that on a smooth road descent, my jump detection was going crazy.

Errors aside, I think there’s only a very small segment of mountain biking where these notifications might be useful in a live context. Being able to disable it would be great...

I've also had issues with it going haywire at times on very smooth terrain when I'm assuming a small bump triggers a 'jump'. I would be totally fine with the 'Road Bike' activity type selected for the activity profile if it didn't also sync all my rides to TrainingPeaks as road rides.

This 100%. I jumped 10 times just riding the road to the trail.

I also don't have an answer but Garmin please make this a feature we can disable! So annoying to hear the beeps.

I think this came up on the 830 forum and Garmin posted that there will be a control option to configure if jump notifications are displayed.

Any update with new firmware? I can't find the setting.
