iFly GPS Forum

Hi,

Today I used a male-male audio cord to go from my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet's headphone jack to my headset's music input jack so I could get aural warnings from the iFly GPS software. At first, the warnings were pretty faint (no way could I hear them with the engine running), so I finally figured out I had to increase both the master volume on the tablet (controlled by the volume rocker button) and the media volume, which is a separate sub-setting on the tablet. So music is now LOUD. But the warnings (like "Warning, terrain") are still not very loud.

As a comparison: if the music volume would be considered a 10 on a 1-10 scale, the voice warning from iFly is a 6 or 7.

Could that voice volume be increased somehow?

Thanks.

Hook, since you didn’t mention that you looked at the settings on the iFly, I’m going to assume that you didn’t look there.

On the iFly before it boots into the GPS, click on ‘Settings’ and at the very top is ‘System Volume’.

Hopefully that’s your problem.

I also suggest the choice of male/female voice (for those who are going to use this iFly feature), since some of us already have voice warnings from other boxes competing for our ears.

If iFly wanted to get real fancy, the it could offer an "in" tone before the voice message too. I wrote about this years ago in KITPLANES, when I shared my voice annunciator warning circuit for our Glasair. We play 3 quick "ding" sounds before a voice warning starts. Get's your attention if something else is going on or if you're talking.
