Can the “School Area Warning” be turned off? I live near several schools and I really don’t need to be reminded every time I leave my house. I can’t find any mention in the owners manual although it is probably in there somewhere.

Since I only use the Nav app when in unfamiliar territory, I find the school zone alert helpful.

The school alerts are the ones I get most often. I dont recall getting any other type of alert. I'm leaving my alerts enabled. I want to see if I ever get a different type of alert.

This is just what I needed to know! I wouldn’t mind school alerts if they didn’t happen at 180db. If I could turn tge volume down some it would be better than turning them off.

The volume IS adjustable, You have to set it WHILE the announcement is ongoing. .. Same thing with volume adjustment for NAV voice, JBV1 announcements, Google map talking, etc. .. Sometimes you gotta be quick!
