@kwbs,
I tried the same couple of days ago in my iGO nextgen Luna with skin by Pongo. If I change in reached_your_destination.ui file (which is in reached_your_destination.zip) the min selectable distance to 0 meters and I choose 0 meters, then there is no audible announcement. The app doesn’t accept this. This is not allowed or more parameters have to be changed. I have to chose at least 10 meters in order to hear the reached to destination announcement. And this is normal. As I wrote 10 meters distance is in front of your destination building footprint or almost next door. I did a few navigation tests with the 10 meters as Reached to your destination distance setting and I was always in front of my Destination while driving.

I also changed the visible message 😉

My Voice_Hb-m1-lua zip, does not contain these patterns (as they appear for example in Voice_Eng-uk-f3-lua):
L "YOU_ARRIVE_AT_YOUR_DESTINATION% dist2"
L "YOU_HAVE_REACHED_YOUR_DESTINATION-E"

@Golom as kwbs wrote without the reached_your_destination.zip file you have all the “before destination” announcements like:
L "YOU_ARRIVE_AT_YOUR_DESTINATION% dist2"
L "YOU_HAVE_REACHED_YOUR_DESTINATION-E" (70 or 200 meters prior Destination arrival).

Now, there is a voice announcement of you_arrive_at_your_destination.

What's weird is that kobi v200897 file does not appear in Pal's voice folder but, it's the least important right now.

I think that you have also to change the language in order to hear your native voice announcement. Did you change it?

Coming back to this thread, after permanently using reached_your_destination.zip.
Everything is as expected. The announcement starts in-front of the destination and is more than perfect to me.
The only disadvantage is that when it is triggered, then the setting Announce System Messages switches to on even though is initially set to off.

So every time I arrive to the destination, I have to go to settings and turn this off or live with hearing the ""Are you sure you want to exit navigation?"" message.
I tried to change this by deleting the below paragraph in reached_your_destination.lua file with no luck.

Is it something more that I missed?

@NikonM

Did you also, try to delete full or partial line of "Are you sure you want to exit navigation?" in Dictionary.lang XXX .txt file?

@kwbs I have tried it. I deleted the "Are you sure you want to exit navigation? \n Please make sure no children or pets left in the car." from Dictionary.lang (in lang folder) and dictionary.voice (in voice folder) files.
Then, while pressing the exit button, I had a blank popup -yes or no- window without any audible announcement. “Announce System Messages” setting had also be changed to on.
It wasn't so nice but it was partially doing the job. No audible message while exiting navigation. Any other System Message (displayed as a readable popup confirmation window) was audible and that was also annoying. I had to switch the “Announce System Messages” setting to off every time I was reaching my destination or delete all relevant audible System messages from the voice and language files.

Then I saw the “MODEL.lua.ReadOutSystemMessages” variable and that did the trick!

I also changed (in the same file) the “MODEL.lua.ReadOutSystemMessages” variable value to false.

So problem solved!
Now Destination announcement is audible and visible. All System Messages like "Are you sure you want to exit navigation?" etc... are only visible and don’t change to audible.
