GARMIN volume control: Does the 1690 have only touch-screen volume control ?

I still drive a car with a tape deck. I bought a tape cartridge device from Radio Shack that connects the Garmin with the car's stereo system. I control the volume using the radio volume control.

Just press the volume icon on the screen and the unit brings up a screen to allow adjusting the volume or on the left a mute icon. I really don't understand the question--the voice feature is to allow driver concentration instead of looking at the screen. Why don't you turn the unit off and give it to someone else.

Mine does - I have an iPhone and when I use apple or Google maps, the audible directions it gives me comes through my speakers.

Yea, I have the GS3 and the headphones work great with it. There isn't volume control on the cord, but the single button feature lets you pause, skip track, answer/end call, and voice search. The sound quality is really great especially when using the music player equalizer. Highly recommended.

Actually, the up and down keys on the front panel dial control volume. The left and right keys control song scroll forward/back.

Not sure if this question has been answered already but yes, there is a volume control for the 2730. It has separate volume for the voice commands and XM/MP3 player.

Yes, it's on the left side of the unit, near the top, and it's a 3.5mm stereo jack. You can play any stored audio files (music etc) which have been previously loaded to the internal memory or SD card which plugs into the side of the nuvi 765T. The music playback is paused when the GPS is speaking it's directions. The audio or driving directions can be played through headphones, or your car stereo, It is also possible to listen to high-quality audio through a A2DP wireless Bluetooth headset device if you so choose. The volume of the nav directions and music audio have separate adjustments, plus a master level control, all on the touch screen.

There aren't any GPS units that you can hear through a helmet over the motor, traffic and wind noise. In helmet speakers are a must. Sena makes a great Bluetooth headset with high quality (for a motorcycle) speakers . The Sena mates well with the Garmin and will let you hear directions without any problems. The Sena solution will also let you listen to stereo music coming from the music player in the Garmin.

My Nuvi 760 reverts to no voice quite often. This is more than annoying. It requires restoring to default many, many times before it finally reappears. Now, why does this POS even have that option???? EVERYBODY needs the voice! However, if some human being does not for some reason that is what the MUTE BUTTON is for! I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER GARMIN their designers are idiots!

There is no way that we are aware of to make the alarm louder. You might want to contact Garmin directly.

No, just a volume wheel (and I'm pretty sure that only controls the headphone output).

No, it does not have volume control--you have to adjust volume on the main device.

BlueAnt does have volume control. I have only used this unit to play music from my phone to my car.

Not this model. Search for Garmin bluetooth to find the models with that feature.

I wouldn't buy this product, but I'm looking for something! I have GPS on my Smartphone, and even though I put the highest setting on the speakerphone, I can't hear the directions! Is there another product that will send from the cell phone to my radio that works?? or another solution to boost the volume?

I agree that the volume is too low and particularly in a noisy environment hard to understand, but in my case I have found the BT function with this device to be unreliable. Most often it fails to make a connection and on incoming calls pressing the answer button on an incoming call is of no use, you cannot answer the call. I have tried to get help from Garmin but after 20 to 30 minutes hold the tech supt people are useless. I stated in my review of this product that if the BT function is important to you get another product. To be fair, however, I must add that when I ran into trouble updating the maps, tech Supt was outstanding and they solved the problem.
