After trying several others applications, I am trying freenavigator on my android phone and find this application very useful : great job !
But I can't find the way to stop quickly and easily the voice during the navigation ; it is useful for example during some part of the navigation very well known.
Is this possible without going to the detailed settings, too complex méthod ?
Hardware button? Not every phone has a hardware button for muting which is easily accessible.
hdmeltest probably asks for a mute button which remains active after pressing. In addition to that I sometimes wished to have a kind of Shut-Up-Button on the screen which would have allowed you to interrupt a command output. Maybe this would be an option, too. Such a button / area could be displayed / highlighted during an output only.
Hardware button (or widget button too) to mute is not for me the solution because it is a "black or white solution" ; with others android gps software, I can choose easily during the navigation if I want to ear alarms sounds (ex radars), voice , voice + sounds or nothing. It is a good solution so I can for example continue to ear my music on the phone without the voice "turn left" or turn right"...
Am I certainly not the only one who use the gps software like this ? ;-))
Yes, but when I do that, I mute every sound of my phone : sounds for alarm (alarm of the gps or alarms of other applications), music... even if I just want to mute the navigation voice....
And I must also think to change again the settings of the phone when I leave the gps application... Not very cool....
Here the question is not "How I use my GPS" ; personnaly, I prefer to see the road on the screen rather than earing a voice , except when I must choose may way in very important traffic.
the question is rather "how can I adapt Navigator to my use" ;-)
