Voice Output
Run.GPS supports speaking information instead of just displaying it. This is helpful during a training when you don't want to look on the screen. You can simply plug in your earphones and listen to Run.GPS information and instructions, while at the same time listening to music.
You can turn on/off voice output by
- clicking the cog wheel to open the options menu
- then clicking on "voice"
- and finally checking/unchecking "voice on".
With the "Speak" menu item you can pop up a menu allowing you to select which information you want to hear:
| Function | Description | Samples |
