I recently bought a 2555 LM. After a week of driving, I noticed that it was no longer announcing "recalculating" when I didn't follow the proposed route.
Did Garmin drop the annoying RECALCULATING?
One could hope.

recalculating ...
... mercifully, yes.
I cannot speak for anyone else, but that is one thing I do not miss.

As renegade734 indicared it no longer says recalculating but calculates and announces the new route directions. I believe this took place around 2011.
I personally do miss it since it alerted me I made a mistake.

Recalculating Gone?
Greetings
Yes, none of the newer models say the word "recalculating".
The word is still in the Voice files, but the newer units no longer say it.
I also miss it, but that is because I used the TTSVoiceEditor
to change the phrase to "I am sorry, I will try it your way"

visual indication?
Yes, none of the newer models say the word "recalculating".
Is there still some visual indication on the screen?

My 2460 says "Have it your way" or it used to -- with recent updates, I haven't heard it, even when I deliberately avoid the route it's offering.
Not missed that much.

Yes ther is a visual indication, it shows caculating and the percentage, then continues on the new calculated route.

When driving on a new road, even "You missed the turn" repeatedly is annoying. Options: I can stop navigating or mute the sound until the new road rejoins the older road.

have to check
I'll have to check on my unit.
My 4590 doesn't have it
They removed it at some point. I was very happy.
On a 2797 it no longer
On my 2797 it no longer speaks that it's recalculating, but does show that it's recalculating on the top portion of the screen. Don't miss the spoken part at all.
Not on the 2595 either. I

thats to funny

A GPS can take you where You want to go but never where you WANT to be.
Halleluah!
After recalculating the way I feel about Garmin, I can only say "halleluah" that they got rid of the annoying "recalculating" message!!!
Getting it back?
Is there a way or a tool that would bring "Recalculating" or what-ever funnier choice you made back on these new unit??
My wife's favorite feature.
The absense of the relentless "recalculating" is my wife's favorite feature of her new 2595.

That's funny, I changed mine to "selecting alternate route", but yours is better.
Already silenced
as I changed it to "laying in new course".
I did the same thing, until a friend who uses a Google App complained. I haven't had the announcement for a couple of years now.

Recalculating
I didn't mind hearing "recalculating" as much as I minded the underlying condescending tone. (Possibly just a perception on my part.)
Recalculating Gone???
--Good!!!
I didn't see why we needed to be so often'ly harangued as condescendingly as that, anyhow!

Reclculating
I too found the word "Recalculating" irritating Instead of deleting it, I would appreciate an audible alert such as a ding. Often when alerted to a missed turn, I find it quicker to retrace my route to the missed turn then following the silently recalculated route. My 2460 might plot a route to correct an error and not alert me to the next turn until I approach a close proximity to it. I have found my self adding several miles to a route when a short redo would be much better.

What????
Garmin finally figured out how annoying that stupid recalculating voice msg was?
How dare they remove it!!
Never argue with a pig. It makes you look foolish and it anoys the hell out of the pig!

That Allstate commercial probably convinced them it was time to retire it
If you don't know what I am talking about, take a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS2Ba9gTPOo.
I support the right to keep and arm bears.
SW update?
Is it a software update that gets rid of it or is it the newer models? I have the latest builds but I still hear the "recalculating".

I'm curious what made it suddenly stop saying recalculating during that week. Did you do any updates to the unit?

I used TTS Editor to rid it from my 775 years ago...

I changed my Wife's to say "Lost again are we"
In the Britt voice she has hers set up. The first time was a blast, she just got this look and I convinced her Garmin had a learning mode, lol
Clarification

My GPS unit did not suddenly STOP making the announcement - it was a NEW unit, and never did. I have used a 660 and a 3790 over the past seven or eight years, and "Recalculating" was one of the most frequent comments Jill made
But the touchscreen on the 3790 died while we were on vacation and I got a new Garmin 2555. It took almost a week before I noticed there was no announcement when I did not follow the route set by the GPS.
I was just surprised it took me that long to figure out that "Recalculating" was gone!
Hearing “recalculating”
Hearing “recalculating” is very annoying. But nowhere near as annoying as missing a turn and not noticing until miles later. When I am deliberately not following the Garmin route, I just turn navigation or sound off for a while. I am sad to see that feature go away, although I do admit a better phrase would be nice.
How about, Oh! Do you want
How about,
Oh! Do you want to park and play now?

I know that it is mind over matter, but what makes it worse is that Jill always sound perturbed (and even more so as it goes on) every time she announces that the route is recalculating.

I would rather have it actually, nice to know when I'm not paying attention to the route.

You're Not The Only Person

It does seem like the consensus here at the Factory is most people are happy its gone. I am in the minority and wish it remained.
I am still able to hear it if I use my backup Nuvi 660. I changed my recalculating to "wrong turn you idiot, recalculating". The sound humbles me a bit since apparently I'm not as smart as I think I am.

My 1490 continiously tells me it is recalculating, especially in areas five or less years old that don't exist, or when I go to Fargo ND and try and use the Garmin to get to the new Costco where it tries to take me on roads that haven't been built yes...LOL
Me as well
I likes it and I also enjoyed the possibility we had to change it to something more enjoyable or, for those that didn't like it much, shorter. The audio advise that we have left a calculated course was useful in many cases.
