Garmin Drivesmart 51LMT-S speed alert silent
Garmin Drivesmart 51LMT-S speed alert silent
Good morning all. I have just purchased a Garmin Drivesmart 51Lmts. It has a function to alert the the driver if exceeding the speed limit in town or outside town. I have set it by ticking the appropriate boxes if I go over the speed limit. I went over the speed limit in a safe area and yet no audio continuous sound is heard,just the flashing speed indicator. My old Nuvi 2495 would give a continuous Bing,Bing,Bing if I went over the speed limit. I have updated the Garmin 51 maps to 2019 by Out door ware house in East London. Please help as the audio warning does assist,many thanks

Re: Garmin Drivesmart 51LMT-S speed alert silent
Can you perhaps post some screenshots of the different menu options regarding sounds/volume?I have set it by ticking the appropriate boxes if I go over the speed limit
I also assume the volume for navigation is correct? ( ie. Turn left in 100m)

Ok,no need to worry. I managed to get hold of Garmin and they have said this function has been removed from the new Garmin's as it distracts the driver. So it's only the flashing red flag.
Thanks for the concerns
