Different Audio Alerts for Different Purposes
I saw a few posts somewhat on this topic, but wanted to raise it here.
Can we get different tones for different types of alerts?
One big thing I miss coming from Garmin are the varied alerts for a navigation prompt vs varia car approaching/all clear events. I went for a ride yesterday and I was all sorts of frustrated by having to look at the unit every time it beeped to see if it was a nav prompt vs a car coming vs an all clear.
Having one alert for each type of event would be absolutley huge.

I absolutely agree. Knowing what the various audible prompts are related to without looking away from the road/traffic situation is paramount. And I'll take this opportunity to re-raise my (urgent) request for an all-clear tone in the Varia integration. I still can't understand how the radar compatibility subroutine got out the door without that basic audio feature.

I'm also coming from a garmin 830, but in hammerhead's defense - even the garmin units didn't have this feature until they added it last summer in a firmware update. But personally - I didn't like it, because for 'all clear' I feel like the standard workflow is 'safer' to look at the screen.
