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

emsmith06

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!

    Same issue here on a Tactix 7. No way of disabling the audio navigation prompts which is extremely annoying and distracting. None of the 'workarounds' suggested are acceptable. Disabling all navigation alerts is not a fix as I rely on the visual arrow and vibration during long outings. Disabling Bluetooth is not a fix as I rely on Bluetooth for an external HR device and safety tracking software for remote outings. This is over £1000 of hardware which was working flawlessly prior to the latest auto-update, please rectify this mistake.

    Recommend you post in a forum related to your watch. The fenix and forerunners have different firmware and developer/support groups.

    Thanks, however there does not seem to be a specific forum for the Tactix series (unless I have looked in the wrong place). We have a Forerunner 965, a Fenix 7 Solar and a Tactix 7 Pro in our household and all are displaying the same 'bug' since the latest update. i.e no way to disable audio turn prompts without disabling the vibration/visual turn prompts aswell, It seems to be widely reported across multiple forums and has been for several weeks with no apparent solution

    Please also add me to the list. This is extremely annoying!

    I don’t want to be added to a list. I want garmin to fix their software  

    Added people to a list doesn’t fix bug. Telling developers to do their job does.

    Did not know it was even possible to use voice promps for turn-by-turn navigation. But of curse, one should be able to turn on or off this feature. Luckily I am still at fw18.xx. After reading this thread, I will be there untill the issue is solved. I use course navigation very often, and always use LiveTrack. I will keep an eye on this thread for future developments.

    Yes in one of the 19.xx beta it suddenly started. I can see the use , but it should have its own section in Audio Prompts,

    I am also affected and that is quite annoying to have a choice of 1. constantly look on the watch to not miss a turn 2. have music constantly interrupted

    This is not fixed in latest beta 20.21 :-(

    i.e. There is still no way to turn off voice audio prompts without completely disabling turn by turn.

    However the audio prompt control for PacePro now seems to work - so at least that is fixed. Thanks for that.

    Please please please - give us an option in the "Audio Prompts" menu to allow TBT voice prompts to be controlled!
