Firmware 7.0 turn-by-turn beeps

Recently upgraded to FW 7.0. All seemed good until I started using my 1030 with a route loaded on it for turn-by-turn navigation.
Pre 7.0, there were 2 sets of tones (multiple beeps) when approaching a turn - one around 100-150 metres before and another right before the juntion. Both sets of tones were, under normal conditions, relatively audible.
Now, with 7.0, the first tone I get is an almost inaudible single beep (still at approx 100-150 metres before the turn) followed by the regular (pre 7.0) beep just before the turn.
Has anybody else noticed this? Personally, I find it hugely irritating and want the old tones back. The current tones give you no time at all to prepare for the junction if you miss the first very quiet beep.
Garmin - please fix this ASAP.
  • OK, OK, I was wrong. It's not called warnings but alerts. English is not my native language, so my edge has a different set up. The result is the same anyway...
  • I still don't see any option on Alerts to turn off navigation audio. Can you do a screen capture to show us where it is on your 1030? The only option I have is to turn tones on or off and that is in a different menu.
  • You don't want any sound when navigating? Select your course (navigation) and select settings and "display always". This way your track is always displayed on the map. You can even change the color of the displayed track. So, when you start your ride, don't use navigation and just select your map screen.
