Volume preferences
Can my GO change the volume depending on how noisy it is in the car?
Select Link volume to noise level and your GO will change the volume accord-
ing to the background noise. The noise level is constantly monitored by the
microphone on your GO. If there is a lot of noise in the car, your GO will auto-
matically increase the volume.
For example, if you are driving on the motorway, which is often very noisy, the
volume level on your GO will be increased. When you are driving more slowly
again, the volume level will be lowered by your GO.
