The ding is twice as loud as the voice guidance, and actually quite distracting. So no matter what volume I have the voice guidance set too, the DING is still way louder.

Unfortunately I find this true also. I turn off the voice when my son falls asleep, but then sometimes I'll miss a turn. If I find some solution I will post...
I understand how this setting can be annoying to you. If you private message me on this forum with your name and VIN# I am more than happy to provide further assistance for you on this issue. Thank you.
Even when I can figure out how to get where I'm going I like to use the Nav because I sometimes find new and better ways to get there. A lot of times we use the car when we are going to some place far, then I definitely use the Nav.
Actually I like using map quest in my phone better. It's easier to use and I put an ear bud in my left ear so I can hear the directions and I can still talk to other people in the car. I also have the option of putting a bud in my right ear if the other occupants of the car are annoying me and I don't want to hear them anymore. )
+1.
I don't drive for a living, but I turned the voice off on the NAV 2 years ago and haven't had it on since. When I'm following directions on the NAV in an unfamiliar area, that white vertical bar on the screen that fills up exactly at the intersection works for me, especially in conjunction with looking ahead by using the directions screen that tells you all the turns on your route and how far it is between them. Took a little while to learn to trust that white bar, but it's foolproof!
I use nav all the time, even when I don't have a destination set. Having a moving map display in an unfamiliar area is invaluable. I put up with the "bong"; it's probably there to wake up old farts like me.
I set random locations off major highways as landmarks. I usually pick one that's relatively close to my destination to minimize the amount of dings. So annoying.
