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!

    I do not know if this will be changed or not. All I can do in the meantime is continue to add those who grant me permission to the impact of the report that we're tracking. The more users I can add, the better! 

    I have added everyone who has commented with negative feedback so far, so if you are reading this and have not yet commented- please do so!

    I'm not sure if I'm already added (because of earlier threads), but please count me in: You should be able to disable voice prompts and still keep vibrations etc. on the watch. And even preferably disable voice prompts separately for phone and watch+headphones (since the former is blasted from the phone's speakers to everyone around, latter only to your own ears).

    I was leading a group run last night using a route which I do almost every Tuesday and my damn phone started shouting it out at every turn and it even made no difference when I put the phone on silent and on do not disturb. I hope this has been logged as a fault rather than as a feature. It’s a fault that needs to be fixed.

    And my workaround for today is: to mute "media" sound on telephone while using Garmin nav. Not perfect but have not found better so far.

    Also happens in FR 955. Seems surprising that this is seen as anything other than a high priority bug that must be fixed as soon as possible.

    It's a big step backwards with latest firmware and for me the most annoying of the current crop of issues. In addition to the navigation voice prompts there are also PacePro voice prompts that appeared with latest F/W. There is no way to disable them.

    oh no! I use pace pro a lot too lol.

    ps - off topic - but I can't find a Garmin Clipboard section in the forums? Am I missing it?

    This  is a BUG. The way it is implement is nonsensical. I reported it in the beta cycle long ago.

    It should have Navigation as a subset under the Audio Prompts section, if  it is a feature, that would be logical.

    Its not even consistent at the moment for example the "off course" notification work as it used to with no audio.

    I have the same issue, would like vibration-only navigation prompts please, with the option to turn off voice prompts

    please also add me to this report! 
    I think it is very annoying that you can’t turn off the audio prompts separately. Just turn it back like it was in the previous version or add an extra setting to turn on/off audio prompts. And if they add this they also should add a volume slider for all audio prompts.
