Recently I have discovered that when I'm being routed from A to B, I get a special sound when I get close to a favourite location (a "dong" sound before the announcement is made).

Is it possible to disable it?

To disable the sound/announcement of the favourites, try this procedure:
Main Menu
Settings
Select the desired profile
Navigation settings
Voice Prompts (do not move the slide, but press on the words)
Scroll down until you reach "Nearby Favourites" and disable it.


I hope this can help you. If this is not enough, let me/us know.

Hi Anyfile,

Thanks for the suggestion, but wouldn't it disable the voice announcement also? I just want to get rid of the "dong" sound.

Hi Casper


Sorry I have not understood correctly your request. Yes it will also disable the announcement.
I do not think to disable just the "dong" sound via the standard menu, but I hope someone else will give you the appropriate answer.
