I can't believe .....

The questions were addressed to "kwbs"
You did not answer the second question .....

Yes, I did:

The truth is, I did not bother to dwell on it because either I got used to it or, I used LUNA and WAZE much more and did not need to deal with it specifically.

Anyway @Golom, thanks for driving me to fix it, the "unbelievable"


Plus...
I've searched in all iGO PAL for kobi v200897 file - The file which solved for me the missing "reached_your_destination" voice announcement and, I didn't find it.

Any idea about the location of this file?

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.
