You guys are using GPS with the voice unmuted?
Right? I muted it exactly for this reason
Not if I'm going someplace unfamiliar, but if I'm just using it for traffic it's usually muted.
I feel like the voice prompts are especially unhelpful if I am unfamiliar with the roads. Looking at the map shows me the next one or two turns at a glance and also shows me which lanes I need to take.
I muted mine years ago after it wouldn't stop referring to roads by numbering systems instead of the actual names on the signs.
Honorable mention to when the directions on the screen have the name but the voice says the number anywat
You're just constantly staring at the GPS instead of watching the road?
No man you glance at it like you would glance at a rear view mirror.
Not so helpful after you miss your exit.
I Don't just look at the blue line, you gotta look at the upcoming direction too. A basic understanding of the next roadname you're turning on to/highway exit is all you need. Then just add the screen to any point in your rotation of rear mirror > left side mirror > rear mirror > right side mirror > front windshield [EVERYONE SHOULD BE DOING THIS ANYWAY] and you're good to go.
Right, and an audio cue decreases the load.
What's the "load" in looking at the "200m ➡️" in the top corner?
Depending on where it's mounted it's plenty readable in my peripheral vision.
No. Not ever.
