My Wife likes the Magellen style exit/turn "chime" alert......

 

I just gave my wife my nuvi 765t to replace her older Magellen RoadMate 2000.

Even though the Garmin is heads above the Magellen in most every way, the one item she still wants is the "DING!" tone that her Magellen plays when you are at your next turn or exit. She kinda tunes out the spoken words of the GPS while driving and relies on that tone to bring her attention back to the GPS.

Is there a way to have the nuvi do that chime as you approach your turn or exit?

Unfortunately no

The first nuvis released (3xx/6xx series) had an attention tone which was sounded just prior to the voice command which the user could enable/disable according to their preference. Garmin permanently disabled the tone after those models and removed the ability for the user to configure it on/off. The tone itself is still there as evidenced by the diagnostics test where you can still play it. Garmin just decided in their infinite wisdom to remove the ability for the user to configure it on/off.

I'm sure it will eventually return one day to the nuvi via a hardware update (user buys a new unit to get it).

That's a shame.... I've grown to like it, as first poster commented.....

Another reason not to upgrade!

In a way, that is kind-of embarrassing!

Magellan 5045

I to like the sounds before your turn, I have both models 765 - 5045 but seem to use the Magellan more. 5" screen and road sign exits are great.
