If you are going to an unknown place and do not have a navigation system, choosing an application is definitely not a good idea. Google Maps step aside. In addition to displaying the route, Google Maps, like many other applications, also offers voice instructions. Everyone knows typical phrases like "Turn right in 150 meters." However, voice navigation may not be suitable for everyone.

For some people, it may be enough to just lower their voice, which will also lower the volume of the entire device. This will, for example, also lower the volume of the music being played. If you want to listen to musicchat When you're driving and listening to music from your phone, you have a problem. If you leave the volume at the same level, your voice will jump into the music and drown it out. If you lower it, you won't be happy with the music volume. Fortunately, Google allows you to disable voice navigation completely.
As iOS v Google Maps turn off voice instructions in navigation
- Run the application Google Maps.
- Find the desired destination and start navigation.
- There is a button in the form of a speaker at the right edge of the display. Click on it.
- Now all you have to do is click on the crossed-out speaker image to disable the voice instructions.
If you get to the city, for example, and don't have time to watch the display, you can turn the voice instructions back on by repeating the same procedure. However, in step 4, instead of the crossed-out speaker, click on the uncrossed one. In addition, you can also choose a speaker with an exclamation mark. This means that the navigation will alert you only to changes in traffic, traffic accidents and construction work on the road.
Does anyone else use GM to navigate? Daredevils!
What's on Google Maps wrong? Well, and about a billion people use them.
That's the problem. The average user thinks they're great. Google's marketing works great. Yes, they're great for navigating a pedestrian around the city, and that's only in some places. Regarding navigation, there are about 5000 closed roads in the Czech Republic per year. GM barely has 100-200 of them entered per year, and I've pretty much exaggerated that. Not to mention that many of the closures are actually gone, but GM is still lit for another year. So planning a route through a closure, or planning an alternative route to a closure is really a hit. Another problem is editing the road network, it's been a problem for almost a year to edit something, or it takes a long time, or not at all. Main roads cannot be edited in the long term. So the relevance of the road network is seriously lacking. I'd rather not mention other problems in GM, it's a shame about the letters. Yes, they have a great marketing, it must bechat!
Patrik GinBook Ingr Totally agree, beautifully described.
Which one do you recommend?
Ondrej, only Waze Czech Republic for me. The guys are dedicated to this and are able to react normally within ten minutes online to closures and to changes in the map in a few days (before the map update takes place). Up-to-date maps ensured. Plus it eats half the data than GM.
Everyone is comfortable with something different. For example, I prefer GM (speed and clarity), but when there is a traffic jam, I also look at Waze. Does Waze no longer belong to Google?
I can't turn up the speaker volume on my phone. Don't know what to add or how to do it?
