Same with our Peugeot 108 feline car nav, it tells us to keep right at every motorway junction, never really registered with me before but I can see how it could get annoying. Will perhaps change the settings on the Volvo as this will now be used for longer drives.

I know this ‘keep right’ happens with one of my iPhone nav apps, just can’t remember which one- either TomTom or Google Maps, I think probably TomTom.

It’s workable once you know what it’s on about, but very confusing for the unfamiliar. Either shut up or at worst say carry on!

Looking at the navigation manual there is an piece about "level of voice guidance" - see below. Not sure if this might help as for the most part it seem that the level is driven by "a guidance point", which I presume remains the same.

Anyway might be worth a try at different levels and seeing what the impact is for you at each motorway junction. Might be trade off depending on what you find useful. [Either way this all reminds me to check what I have it set at - and I'll certainly be dropping down a level if I can]/

Level for voice guidance
1. Press Voice Guidance Level.
2. Tap on the voice guidance required:
• None (no automatic voice guidance but
the possibility of manually requesting current
voice guidance once)
• Low (only one message per guidance
point)
• Medium (up to 3 messages per guidance
point, with limited information)
• Full (up to 4 messages per guidance
point and all available information)
Cheers boomer. Just reduced to low to see if that at least helps cut the annoyance.
