Quote from tollos on 30.05.2020, 10:44Hi Scenic/Guido,
Great app! First experiences are very nice.
Would it be possible to have voice guidance without street names as an option to switch off/on?
Using Dutch voice guidance.Thanks!

Quote from Guido on 30.05.2020, 10:51Sorry...that's not possible at the moment. The voice instructions are provided by the 3rd party routing framework that Scenic uses. It doesn't have an option to switch off the street names.

Is there a way to turn off street name announcements now?
Or is there at least an option to limit the length of the announcements? On some trips, the lady just keeps talking constantly.
I’ve already reduced the number of announcements, but some of them are simply necessary.

That gave me an idea: Right now, I can choose whether or not I want a voice announcement at a certain distance. What if I could choose to hear a tone instead of an announcement?
One that basically just says: "Look at the screen now."
Even better: different tones. A quiet one for when I'm using a headset, and a loud one that I can hear inside my helmet even without headphones.

Quote from Guido on 05.08.2026, 18:46Upcoming update ads a “shorter instructions” setting. It’s currently awaiting Apple approval (hopefully approved before the weekend).
You can already choose “beep only” now. Settings > Sound & Voice Instructions > Voice and Sounds > first row.
For Android users… the shorter instructions setting is in beta test now and will also be in next update, but will take a bit longer until that’s released.
