Voice Prompts for Turns during Course Navigation - Turn Off!!

All of the sudden, my FR 965 has started giving me voice turn notifications. I *want* the vibration prompts on my watch but I do not want the voice prompts. The only way I have been able to disable the voice prompts is to turn off turn notifications, but that turns off the prompts coming from the watch which is not acceptable.

Help!

All,

I've added everyone who has granted me permission to our report tracking this separate audio setting request. If you have not yet commented with permission, please now contact Product Support directly…

Turning off alerts from Navigation turned off the audio prompts but I'm not getting any vibration, beeping, or anything to tell me a turn is coming up. I see the arrows on my watch but I don't want to…

Garmin-Sierra That is an totally unacceptable suggestion because that turns off all alerts. I follow a route, so I need the beeps and vibration to alert me of upcoming corners but I don’t want voice out…

I did a long run on Sunday and got turn announcements on my headphones the whole time and couldn't turn it off. Really quite annoying.

I've posted this already, but in case it works for you:

Long-Press 'Up' -> Settings -> Connectivity -> Phone -> Toggle Off

I've been doing this for a month and got vibration alerts but nothing verbal. Only catch is remembering to toggle connectivity back on to sync.

Thank you! I'm trying to think what I would miss out on by disconnecting the phone but all i can really think of is spectator messaging, which appears to have just started working for me but which in reality I bet I'll maybe never use.

Cheers!

That also disables live tracking.

There is only one solution. Garmin should stop making stupid design decisions and start fixing their software.

Yes, Elbow. We established that a month ago. Thing is, not everyone uses Live Tracking. If that's a problem, there are phone apps that do pretty much the same. Failing that, buy a big balloon and tie it to your vest :)

If you are happy buying an expensive watch and using all kind of workarounds to make it a bit working, that”s fine with me.

Sorry for the fanboys who don’t like any criticism on garmin, but as long as I have this watch I will keep pushing garmin to do a better job,

The workarounds are temporary bandaids. It is not acceptable that Garmin rolled out an update with a known bug more than a month ago and hasn't fixed it yet.

Garmin-Sierra, do you have an update on when this will be fixed?
