No sound when using Apple maps on Ios15

Having the same issue here after the 15.1 update. Now I only get the tone sounds but no voice prompts. I have an older car without CarPlay and I used to hear the directions over the radio. Apple please help! This is so dangerous. I have to keep looking at my phone to see where to go instead of just hearing the directions.

I checked my phone and sound recognition was already off. What corrected the issue for me was installing iOS 15.2. I suppose it is possible that 15.2 turned my sound recognition off when installed but I do not know that.

I have used iMaps twice since upgrading to iOS 15.2 and have no longer had any issues with audio directions being played over CarPlay through my vehicles entertainment system speakers while being connected via lightning cable.

Daggerian, Refer to my comment on the 5th page. Justin444 found a solution that works and I commented on it listing the steps. It works and I get the voice directions thru my iPhone just like it did in IOS 14.

I have navigation voice back in the car now. The radio toggled 'On' - mine was also defaulted to 'Off' - appears to be the way. Still, Apple ought to address the fact that NAVIGATION VOICE VOLUME feature has vanished into thin air since the iOS15 install.

Thanks for the help

I am having the same problem with my iphone ios 15. No audio directions on my phone. I have bluetooth on in my car for phone calls and everything has worked great until lately. I don't feel I should have to reset my phone and lose all the info that is on my phone. I downloaded google maps for now and it works fine If the audio directions ever start working again on the apple map, I will be glad to start using it again. I hope Apple will let me know

I agree. I have the same problem. I downloaded google maps on my iphone and everything works including the audio directions. I also want to keep my bluetooth on for phone calls in and out. I also downloaded the newest software version 15.2.1 that somone recommended but didn't solve the problem.

I did download the newer version 15.2.1. Same problem. If I turn off bluetooth it works, but once I turn on bluetooth it doesn't work. I want to keep bluetooth on like I always have for incoming and outgoing calls

I downloaded the google map on my iphone and everything works including the audio for directions. If I ever hear this problem is fixed I will go back to apple maps most likely

Understood. You want Apple maps turn by directions turn to play through phone speaker but phone calls and music apps to play to car via Bluetooth. Best I can tell that is not available since IOS 15. Cannot chose volume level for turn by turn separately from phone or music either. It is frustrating. I use Apple Maps for directions to point of interest destinations because the voice activation via SIRI is so simple and effective. For travel however I too use Google maps or WAZE. Each has its strong points. Unfortunately Apple Maps simply isn’t as usable as it was before IOS15.

It is available for the iPhone, I am able to get the map directions on my iPhone while it is connected to Bluetooth in my vehicle. I just need to turn off the Directions on Radio switch on the phone. That stops the directions on the radio and sends them back through the iPhone. Most of the time I turn that off though, since I have the Apple Watch and get my turn directions on the Watch as well. But in heavier traffic situations, I will turn the sound back on for the iPhone. I have an iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 152.1, Apple Watch with watchOS 8.3, and this is used on a 2015 Mercedes Benz C300.

Yes. But you could try with the "Directions on Radio" Off. That may work.
