I have noticed that the Garmin DriveSmart series (I have the 70LMT) volume is not as loud as the Garmin Nuvi 2798LMT model was. Anyone else agree that the DriveSmart volume is not as loud as the Nuvi line? When driving with road noise I have difficulty hearing the instructions as well as I used to particularly considering it's a $400 GPS.
Volume setting
Have you checked the setting for the automatic volume
Automatic Volume
Automatic Volume uses ambient noise in the car to determine the appropriate volume level for the device's audio.
To enable Automatic Volume:
Touch Volume
Touch the Wrench icon in the upper-left
Touch Automatic Volume
Some devices will require you to select Enabled or Disabled then Save
Touch and hold the back button to return to the main menu
The device will now automatically adjust the volume as needed based on ambient noise. Repeat the above steps to disable Automatic Volume and adjust volume levels manually.
Automatic Volume is available on Bluetooth-capable models in the following series:
