How to stop the voice during navigation on Android navigator ?
  • Vote Up0Vote Down hdmeltesthdmeltest
    Hello
    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 ?

    Thanks in advance for your answer !

    best salutations

    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 ? ;-))

    In fact this is a question of personal preference and experience:

    When I navigate, I want the navigation voice to have the highest priority - after a phone call.

    If I don't need the navigation voice at all, as the screen is enough, I can turn off the voice completely in the settings.

    So far, I did not have the need to mute the voice down during navigation.

    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....

    I don't understand this question either. When you are in an unknown city with a lot of directional changes I'm glad to have the instructions.
    When you're on the highway and the next exit is after 88 kilometer, Navigator doesn't mention anything anyway.
    Ideal!

    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" ;-)
