Running audio prompt to the millimeter (v22.22)

mmxmmx 2 months ago

Since the latest update, when running a course, I now get prompts like "turn right after 95.529 meters". Like I would notice the 9mm difference

If this ain't a setting (???), then garmin please just round to the meter, this is very confusing

EDIT (23/03/2025):

Those coming here with this same problem. Summary is, this currently happens when you connect your earphones to your phone, not when only connecting to the app.

garmin support is aware. Now, lets hope for a fix.

All,

This disruption has been fixed in software version 23.20, which is currently at 20%. See Forerunner 965 - Software Version 23.20 for more information.

If you are still experiencing this after 23.20…

I bet if you set Units to miles it would round nicely to whole feet. However I am not willing to try this out.

Yup, still getting it (although it seems, its not always like this....)

1. Units: kilometers

2. No, the watch shows 1.1km but voice tols me 1.136km

3. At every turn

4. Mostly correct, sometimes turns are…

Happens with iOS also so probably Connect issue

Same here. Fenix7. Android app. Everything in millimeters. So annoying

The culprit is Garmin Connect Mobile app as this happens only when headphones are connected to mobile phone. When connected to watches then it's rounded correctly.
I found the same thread in GCMA section.

What are your Units set to?

In addition to hearing the strangely rounded decimals, are you also seeing them displayed on the watch?

Does this happen for every upcoming turn while navigating?

Are your turn prompts still correct?

May I have permission to reach you via email, if necessary?

I've been complaining about this in the beta forum since Feb 7 (also here). It's like talking to yourself over there.

Units: miles

Watch does not display the excess digits.

Happens for every upcoming turn.

Turn prompts are otherwise the way they always have been (although reciting all these digits exacerbates another problem I've been complaining about even longer: that the current action to take should be read out before the future action; otherwise it is often read out too late.)

Yes, please contact me if I can help in any way.

1: KM

2: NO. Watch says 8 meters; audio prompt says 8,123meters. (Can also be kilometer)

3: YES every turn

4: yes

5: yes

I use DUTCH language but that does not seem to be the issue as it is in english and miles the same.

Still not fixed for speed notifications. Reported in MPH's to three decimal places.

I have solved this problem by setting my Spotify music playlist to the very long song, "all the digits of pi". This also works around Spotify's occasional problem that shuffle repeats the same sequence of tracks every time.

Same here, still the same, three decimal places. I've had two updates to Garmin connect android but nothings changed!

I have noticed this. Is it because routes are coming from Strava?

I have not checked for Garmin Connect created routes.

It happens on DSW workouts and Garmin created courses/workouts.
