There is a setting to adjust the sound of the GPS voice and the music does go down when there are directions to be spoken but be aware that the GPS SUCKS!!! It tells me you have reached your destination on the left and it's either a mile or so up the road or it gives the wrong side. I have had nothing but problems with it, I should have just stuck with my Garmin. TERRIBLE!!!

Thanks. The web updater didn't seem to work. Because my parents have the same GPS, I tried it in their receiver and it worked. I realized that the receiver itself was defective. I'm in the process of returning it - I will probably give another one a shot, overall I think it's a nice unit.

I just checked to see if a gps would work. If you have a smaller gps yes it should work.

Hello, I am glad to tell you that you just need to connect the GPS and GSM antenna to the right connector, and find an appropriate place and fix the antennas to make sure it receive signals well. When the green LED indicator on, GPS signal is normal.

the best way is to be near a signal when you open the map app, keep it open. then when you drive away it will work as long as you do not close the app. That's the free type. A paid for download will be better though and that will be the same with all stand alone GPS units unless you use a built in street map one. But the dual will work great!!

You could be in a new area??Just built??? Or the other thing is to update your gps through garmin, that should help

Hmm i guess it says there is GPS in the title. How does it work?? I have this product. I also don't know how to update the information.

I did the update, went smooth. Do you know is there is a comprehensive list of what was fixed/updated?I have some issues driving on a divided highway (Dale Mabry in Tampa) when you go by all the turn lanes between median, the gps tells you to "stay right ahead", every half mile or so, very annoying and not needed. I am already on the road I should be on. Any word on the volume, I have sebring convertible, with the top up it is noisier than the average car, really can't even hear the gps.

Get on your computer and go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHUliwmAXxY It discusses a different model of GPS, but the directions apply. It is an excellent video. Thanks for asking the question, it got me to search for an answer for you and I learned something, too. General rule: when you have a question about "how do I ...." go to Google and ask that question. I get a good answer more than 90% of the time. Good luck. If you have a more specific question, don't hesitate to ask again.

I would suggest a couple of things. Check for power. Check that you are receiving a satellite signal. Do you have Garmin Express loaded on your computer? Are you connecting to your computer correctly with USB cable? If you are still having trouble, go to garmin.com, register the unit, and contact support. It's just a phone call away:)

Never tried it my car has a build in GPS .... Try this, get the dimensions and cut a piece of cardboard and place it over the GPS using duct tape and see if it work, I wish i had done this before I bought it.

Thanks Darth. I detected the problem while trying to use GPS. GPS was not able to find my position and prompted me to go online thru Options. That is when I realized that 5800 is not able to connect to ATT Internet. I think I confused ATT Internet with MediaNet.

I put in batteries an mine worked. It took a few minutes to find my location. Make sure you are in an open area outside if you are still having trouble.

Hi Hasan, Dumb question, did you charge the cradle first? You can tell if it has a change by turning it to GPS and touching the button below it. If the blue lights come on you are good to go. If not, switch it to Battery and charge it for a few hours. This is not a BT device, so there is no need to search for it. You should be able to attach your touch to it, turn it to GPS, and then launch your GPS software. I had one for my 4th gen touch and it worked great with the Garmin driving software... until iOS6 came out. Once I upgraded to iOS6, it wouldn't work. I got frustrated with it, and since I was due for a new phone, I went Android with a built in GPS. I really think that iOS is the issue, as mine was great until then. But like I said, I gave up after playing with it for about 3 hours. I suggest you contact Dual if nothing else works. James
