Hit the power button at the top-right of the unit, it brings up a brightness & volume adjustment screen. Use the touchscreen interface to raise or lower the brightness or volume. Hit "Back" to get back to the map...

I can hear the GPS voice loud and clear. It is sent through my hardwired headset. Even if it wasn't, I could probably hear it at full volume. You can simply un-latch the unit from the bike and lock it into the car window mount. I've had no problems using it on both types of vehicles.

I was a long time Garmin user but bought the RM 7735 for use with my camper. The voice was awful and after adjusting all the settings I was still being re-routed off major highways. Just sold it and I am buying a Garmin again.

You can set the volume(the gear neo) to silent or vibrate, I learned this in youtube reviews.

Thank you so much for your replies. I would have never figured it out on my own and would have had to call Garmin for help!!!! Thanks again.

Yes. You can continue to listen to music regardless of the other app that you're using (reverse camera, Garmin Street Pilot, searching through your phone contacts on-screen preparing to make a call, etc.). The music automatically mutes when driving directions are issued. I hope this helps. -Dean

I don't use this gps any more but if I remember correctly, it is audible but can be disabled.

There are volume control buttons on the speaker. You can also control the volume from your device (MP# player, phone, tablet, etc.)

I don't have the Garmin 2455. But I do have the Garmin nuvi 760. I have a 1 - 2 hour drive to and from work each day and would go nuts if not for the audio books. I have to keep the volume up rather high (80 or 90 percent), but I hear it fine. It really helps with the long drives.

What do you refer to as volume control? I have not heard this mentioned before. There are the common control keys, and many programs have ways to modify them.

Ooops. THere is a volume control after all, but the lowest is still annoying to me. Oh, well.

None!Control talk does not have volume features but you can easily replace it with one that has. I did. Probably works on anything that has simple headphones

Sorry no, it is for running thru a audio system. It has no volume controls on it.

You are correct, there most definitely is a volume control. On the center dial, there are up and down arrows, they control the volume.

Has anyone used the Dakota 20 for touring? Or any Garmin unit for that matter. I'd be interested in your experiences. I'm leaning towards the Dakota for a number of reasons (Battery type, battery life, price, features) I don't need a heart rate/cadence monitor(s) I just want directions but I also don't want to be directed on to a freeway on ramp by some piece of misguided software.

Dude... sorry, just not worth it to wear headphones while cycling. Add headphones to the sound of wind, and you won't hear cars, trains, dogs etc...

No. When you are using the Nuvi FM transmitter, all you will hear on your car speakers is the Garmin. It transmits on a changeable frequency that you set and match to your car radio. I believe the internal speaker on the Nuvi is muted when you have the transmiter turned on. You have the option of using the transmitter for your car speakers or using the speaker built in the 760.
