Navigation Symbols
While you are navigating a route, the device screen displays the
distance to your next turn, exit, or other action, and a symbol to
indicate the type of turn.
Start route
: The arrow points toward the starting point of the
calculated route. This symbol appears when you need to
drive through an unmapped area, such as a parking lot, to
reach the starting point for the route.
Left or right turn
: The device displays the distance to an
upcoming left or right turn.
Sharp turn
: The next turn is a sharp turn. You should prepare
to reduce your speed more than usual to complete the turn.
Highway exit
: Your next turn requires you to exit the road
using an exit ramp. The arrow indicates whether you should
exit on the left or on the right.
Lane guidance
: The upcoming turn or exit must be
completed from a specific lane or lanes. You should move
into one of the lanes indicated by the filled arrow or arrows. If
the road has more than four lanes,
...
indicates more lanes
exist to the left or right of the lanes shown.
Roundabout
: The arrow indicates the exit you should use to
exit the roundabout.
U-turn
: You should make u-turn at the next safe and legal
opportunity to return to your route.
Destination arrival
: Your destination is ahead. The arrow
indicates the direction of your destination. This can help you
determine which side of the street your destination is on, or
help you navigate to your destination through an unmapped
area, such as a parking lot.
Getting Information About Your Route
With a route active, you can say phrases like these to learn
about the route ahead of you.
Turns on your route
•
Alexa, ask Garmin, what's my next turn?
•
Alexa, ask Garmin, what lane should I be in?
Traffic conditions
•
Alexa, ask Garmin, how's traffic?
Time and distance
•
Alexa, ask Garmin, are we there yet?
•
Alexa, ask Garmin, how much farther?
•
Alexa, ask Garmin, what time will we arrive?
Taking a Detour or Alternate Route
You can ask the device to calculate an alternate route to take a
detour, such as avoiding a traffic delay or a road closure. If a
significant traffic delay is reported on your route, the device
alerts you, provides the delay time, and tells you when you are
still on the fastest route.
At any time, you can say phrases like these to search for and
start an alternate route, if one is available.
•
Alexa, ask Garmin to start an alternate route.
•
Alexa, ask Garmin to take a detour.
•
Alexa, ask Garmin to find a faster route.
Stops and Route Interruptions
If you make a stop and turn off your vehicle while navigating a
route, your device resumes the route automatically the next time
you start your vehicle.
If you depart from the route while navigating, the device
automatically recalculates a new route to your destination and
starts guiding you to it. To recalculate your route, the device
may require your phone to have an active mobile data
connection with access to the internet. If no internet connection
is available, the device displays the distance and a directional
pointer to your destination until an internet connection becomes
available.
Muting the Navigation Instructions
You can mute the audible voice prompts for navigation
instructions, such as turns in your route. This reduces the
interruptions to media playback while navigating. While
navigation instructions are muted, the device still provides
audible alerts for important information, such as traffic on your
route.
• To mute or unmute navigation instructions using a voice
command, say phrases like these:
◦
Alexa, ask Garmin to mute navigation.
◦
Alexa, ask Garmin to be quiet.
◦
Alexa, ask Garmin to unmute routing.
• To mute or unmute navigation instructions using the Garmin
Drive app, select on the destination map.
Speed Limit and Speed Alerts
While a route is active, the Garmin Speak Plus device can
provide speed limit information and alert you when you exceed
the speed limit.
• You can request the current speed limit by saying
Alexa, ask
Garmin, what's the speed limit?
• When you exceed the speed limit by 10, the bottom of the
LED ring glows yellow, and the device displays the current
speed limit for a few seconds.
Arriving at Your Destination
When you approach your destination, the device displays a
checkered flag, a directional pointer, and the distance to your
destination.
• The pointer points to the approximate physical location of
your destination. You can use the pointer to determine which
side of the street your destination is on, or to navigate to your
destination through an unmapped area, such as a parking lot.
